This is a sampling of Cuyahoga Falls police reports made available July 31 and is not meant to be a comprehensive list of all events occurring in the city. All persons are considered innocent until proven guilty.
7-16 The police were summoned to a grocery store in the 2600 block of State Road for a suspect who, according to police, did knowingly obtain control over two 750ml bottles of vodka and one 750ml bottle of tequila (total value of $72.56) without the consent of grocery store, by concealing them in her pants. The suspect then passed the final point of sale without paying for the items with the intent to deprive the grocery store of the property. When approached by police the suspect resisted lawful arrest by officers by pulling away from officer’s grasp, running and refusing to stop, and actively drawing her hands under her body to avoid handcuffing. Police also stated the suspect did knowingly possess drug paraphernalia used to ingest marijuana, to wit: one glass bowl commonly used to smoke marijuana and one rolling tray used to form blunts, both of which did contain marijuana residue.
