Good morning, Meigs County. Truth really is stranger than fiction in this week's police blotter, where local deputies responded to everything from a "dog stampede" of 20-30 canines running loose through streets to investigating parking lot "donuts" that left three windows shattered at Rays Harvest House. The collection of bizarre incidents reads like a small-town comedy script, complete with fireworks mistaken for gunshots and falsely reported intoxication.
While some residents were dealing with unusual disturbances, others faced more serious challenges as flash floods from Little Pond Run trapped vehicles at a Parkersburg intersection. Thankfully, quick work by firefighters and Pifer's Towing rescued stranded motorists without injuries. In brighter community news, Memorial Health System celebrated the grand opening of its new Cosmetic Center in Belpre, complete with refreshments, expert introductions, and over $1,500 in giveaways for attendees.

🚓 Small-town police blotter reveals bizarre community incidents. Deputies responded to everything from a "dog stampede" of 20-30 canines running through streets to mistaking fireworks for gunshots. Other unusual calls included investigating a man falsely reported as intoxicated, responding to online scams presented as threats, and documenting vandalism at a community park with vulgar graffiti. The week's strangest incident involved property damage at Rays Harvest House, where someone performed "donuts" in a gravel parking lot, breaking three windows.
🌊 Flash floods trap cars as Little Pond Run overflows in Parkersburg. Heavy rainfall on Friday caused the stream to breach its banks at the intersection of Sagamore Hill Drive and Parkview Drive, stranding two vehicles in rising waters. The Parkersburg Fire Department quickly responded to the scene, working with Pifer's Towing who used a long winch to extract the cars from the floodwaters. Authorities reported no injuries resulted from the incident. Throughout the area, other vehicles were seen navigating through standing water on Murdoch Avenue during the downpour.
💉 Belpre welcomes new Cosmetic Center with ribbon-cutting celebration. Memorial Health System's Cosmetic Center and Department of Dermatology officially opened with a ceremony attended by the Belpre Chamber of Commerce and Mayor Susan Abdella. The open house featured local refreshments, opportunities to meet the expert teams, and chances to win over $1,500 in giveaways. Located at 1818 Washington Boulevard, the center offers various cosmetic services and treatments to the community. The event provided visitors a firsthand look at the new healthcare facility's offerings.
