Ex-boyfriend and other man charged with burglarizing woman’s home

 

SYCAMORE TOWNSHIP, HAMILTON COUNTY, OH (FOX19) – The ex-boyfriend of a Kenwood woman and a second man have been charged with taking copper from the woman’s home - while she was there - during a daylight burglary Thursday morning.

Chief Deputy Sean Donovan of the Sheriff’s Office says 30-year-old Casey T. Turner of Liberty Township and 32-year-old Christopher A. Baker of Linwood showed up between 9 and 9:20 a.m. at the home on Kenwood Road.  Around 9:25 the woman who lived there saw a car in the driveway that didn’t belong there and called police. 

When deputies got there, they decided the pair had been removing copper pipe from the home, with some of it stacked up on the back patio.

The Sheriff’s office says Baker was arrested in the driveway with a hacksaw in his hand, while Turner ran east into the woods behind the home.

Police: Man steals purse & uses money to buy heroin

MADEIRA, OH (FOX19)- A man is in custody after police say he stole a woman's purse and used $200 dollars of her money to buy heroin.

Madeira Police say John Spinnie, 45, entered Connections Christian Church on Galbraith Road around 1:00pm Wednesday and told a worker inside he didn't have any money and was having vehicle problems. 

After Spinnie left the church, the victim noticed her purse was missing that contained personal belongings and $500 cash and called police.

Investigators were able to find Spinnie because he left behind a folder with his personal information inside.

Norwood Police Officers later located Spinnie and he admitted to the theft and told officers where he disposed of the purse.

Madeira's K-9, Amigo, searched the roadside along the Norwood Lateral and after about a 30-minute search, he came out of the wooded area with a purse in his mouth.
