Poodle Not Invited to Dinner in Restaurant: Police Blotter

Managers at Don's Pomeroy House called police April 10 after a couple brought a dog into the Pub area and refused to leave.

The older couple had a small poodle that the woman said was her "comfort dog," and even produced a document attesting to that.

The restaurant, however, said the dog did not belong there. Management paid the tab for their drinks and appetizers and the diners, who were staying at the Holiday Inn, left.

Intruder Alert?

A Strongsville woman called police from her bathroom about 9:30 April 8, saying she had locked herself in with a gun after hearing someone use profanity in her house.

The alarm didn't go off, but the woman said she heard someone say a word.

Officers found no one in or around the house and no signs of forced entry.

Angry at Picketers

A picketer outside Muraski School told police a parent keeps trying to run them over.

Teachers said the woman comes too close to them, drives too fast and scowls.

The woman told police that had never happened. She was advised nonetheless to change her behavior in the future.
