Aurora Police Blotter: Domestic Violence, Overdose Call, and Brief Pursuit

AURORA, Ohio – The latest Aurora police blotter from November 19 through December 1, 2025, includes several domestic disputes, a reported overdose outside a local business, and a speeding stop that turned into a brief pursuit and operating‑while‑impaired arrest. Officers also handled a sex offense report, a fraud complaint, and multiple welfare and mental health calls.

Three Notable Incidents From the Reports

1. Overdose call behind a local business

Police and EMS responded to a business on Shawnee Trail after reports of an employee possibly overdosing near the dumpsters. The man was found breathing but twitching in a chair near the dumpsters, and it was unknown what substance he had taken.

Multiple 911 calls came in, and officers requested extra units after noting the subject’s prior history, including assault on a police officer and resisting arrest. The man was transported to a hospital by squad, with an officer riding along and hospital security advised that he was fighting staff.

2. Speeding stop turns into brief pursuit and OVI arrest

On December 1, an officer attempted to stop a speeding vehicle on West Garfield Road. The driver initially refused to stop and continued out of the city at about 60 mph, prompting police to alert a neighboring department.

The vehicle was later stopped at gunpoint in a nearby community, and the driver was detained. Field sobriety testing was completed with assistance from another jurisdiction, and the driver was arrested on a charge of driving while under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs. The vehicle was towed, an administrative license suspension was entered, and the driver later posted bond and was given a court date.

3. Domestic violence call where a sibling reports choking attempt

Officers responded to a domestic violence call on Moneta Avenue in the early morning hours of November 28. An 18‑year‑old caller told dispatchers that her 22‑year‑old brother had been drinking, was “out of control,” punching people in the home and had tried to choke her.

Family members, including a young child, were inside the residence. The man left the immediate area briefly but was later located by police, taken into custody and transported to jail on a domestic violence charge. Victim information and Marsy’s Law notifications were documented in the report.

Other Incidents in the Aurora Police Blotter

Welfare check tied to crisis chat

Police handled a welfare check after Grassroots Crisis Intervention reported that someone in an online chat said they were cutting themselves and losing feeling in their fingers before abruptly ending the conversation.

The crisis worker provided an IP address believed to be linked to a Spectrum/Charter account. Aurora police contacted the provider and completed required paperwork in an attempt to identify the person. Juvenile information and certain identifiers were redacted under state law.

Ongoing domestic issue reported at the station

Two people who work at the same local employer came to the Aurora Police Department to report an ongoing domestic situation involving the male subject’s ex. They said a prior incident had occurred months earlier at a local restaurant. Officers documented the information for a report.

Dual early‑morning domestic calls

• Moneta Avenue – domestic dispute:
  Officers responded to a report that a woman with medical issues had thrown a pair of shoes at a man, hitting him in the face. No weapons were reported, and a neighboring department assisted on scene. Police later reported that everyone checked out okay and cleared the call.

• Circlewood Drive – domestic violence report:
  In a separate incident on Circlewood Drive, a woman called from the basement while the male half was upstairs. She reported he had grabbed her face and pushed her, causing elbow pain but declined squad transport.

  Officers entered via a back door, separated the parties and remained until the woman was able to leave for the night with a ride. The report notes she is the protected party in an existing protection order involving a different man who was not present.

Sex offense reported days after incident

Aurora police received a report of a possible sexual assault that allegedly occurred on Moneta Avenue on November 25 and was reported two days later. The case was linked to a previous call and forwarded for investigation. The victim’s information and details about the uncharged suspect are redacted in accordance with Ohio public records law.

Fraud: attempted car purchase in another state

A resident on Cimarron Oval reported that someone tried to purchase a vehicle in Nebraska using his identity. He told police he was not out any money at the time of the report, but officers documented the incident as fraud/identity theft and advised him on steps to protect his accounts and credit.

Mental health call leads to courtesy ride

Late on November 30, officers responded to a home on Camelot Drive for a 20‑year‑old woman who was crying and said she was very sad. No weapons were reported in the house.

An officer ultimately provided a courtesy transport to a mental health facility. Staff later confirmed the woman had arrived safely. The report notes that personal health information is protected under HIPAA.

Non‑injury crash near Mennonite Road

Police responded to a property‑damage crash near Mennonite Road and the city limits involving a red pickup truck and another vehicle, possibly a Kia. No injuries were reported at the time, and officers collected driver and vehicle information for the crash report.
