The latest Hudson police blotter from Nov. 19 through Dec. 1 shows officers handling a mix of harassment complaints, welfare checks, identity theft, domestic situations, and routine patrol calls across the city.
Harassment and Telecommunications Threats
On Nov. 17, a resident requested a harassment report after receiving unwanted text messages. Later in the month, officers were called to a local business on Georgetown Road for a harassment report, and another resident on West Streetsboro Street reported a situation that was determined to be telecommunications harassment. In another case on Nov. 24, a complainant reported that a caller had threatened to kill their son during a phone call.
Officers were also dispatched to a business on Darrow Road on Nov. 22 after a resident reported ongoing unwanted contact following a relationship breakup. The person only requested documentation of the incident.
Welfare Checks and Mental Health Concerns
Hudson officers conducted multiple welfare checks during the reporting period. Calls included checks on a juvenile female, residents at assisted living and care facilities, and individuals who called 911 or were reported acting unusually.
On Nov. 25, officers responded to a residence for a welfare check involving a child. On Nov. 29, officers checked on a male who had called 911. On Dec. 1, officers were dispatched to a South Main Street gas station where a 34-year-old man described as mentally ill was reportedly acting oddly.
Several additional welfare checks involved residents at local senior or residential facilities who were worried about relatives at other locations or needed assistance with confusing or unwanted phone calls.
Theft, Fraud, Property and Identity Cases
Police handled several theft- and fraud-related calls. On Nov. 19, officers responded to a report of theft at a senior assisted living facility on Omni Lake Parkway. On Nov. 24, police took a report of a lost computer. Two days later, officers responded to a convenience store on Darrow Road for a theft report.
Telecommunications fraud was reported Nov. 20 by a resident on Deer Path Trail. On Nov. 30, a resident on Beckwith Drive reported being a victim of identity theft related to a social media account. That investigation is pending.
On Nov. 28, officers responded to a Redwood Boulevard residence for a report of stolen credit cards taken from a vehicle.
Domestic Situations and Juvenile Issues
Officers also responded to multiple domestic-related calls. On Nov. 23, police were called to a residence on South Hayden Parkway for a domestic situation. On Nov. 27, officers responded twice to a Winslow Drive address—first for a juvenile complaint after a youth left home following a verbal altercation with a parent, and later for a domestic situation at the same residence.
Some residents also came to the Hudson Police Department seeking informational reports and assistance related to ongoing domestic issues.
Traffic Stops, Suspended Licenses and Crash Response
Hudson officers conducted several traffic stops that resulted in citations for driving under suspension. On Nov. 19, a juvenile driver stopped for a moving violation on West Streetsboro Street was found to have a suspended license and was cited. On Nov. 23, a 34-year-old Cleveland woman stopped on Boston Mills Road was cited for driving under suspension, and her vehicle was impounded. On Dec. 1, a random registration check on Hines Hill Road revealed a 23-year-old Hudson driver who had failed to reinstate a license; that driver was also cited.
Hudson officers also assisted the Summit Metro Crash Response Team after a two-vehicle serious-injury crash in another Summit County community on Nov. 22.
Other traffic-related calls included a disabled semi-truck on West Streetsboro Street, which officers escorted to a safe area to meet a mechanic, and a traffic hazard call on North Hayden Parkway after reports of vehicles doing donuts in a parking lot. The drivers were warned and given parent notification letters.
Noise, Animal Complaints and Alarm Drops
Noise complaints led officers to a Bard Drive apartment building on two separate days, where reports of loud noise were investigated. On Nov. 24, police responded to the area of a trail off Sullivan Road for reports of loud popping noises and found evidence of recently deployed fireworks. The evidence was collected, and the investigation is pending.
Animal complaints included calls about an issue involving animals on Winterberry Drive and a vehicle that struck a deer on Boston Mills Road. The deer was found to be seriously injured and was dispatched near the crash site.
Several calls during the period involved alarm activations at homes and businesses across the city. In these cases, officers checked the properties and cleared once they verified that everything was secure.
EMS Assists and Care Facility Calls
Hudson police assisted Hudson EMS on several calls, including medical incidents on Williamsburg Circle, North Main Street and Fox Trace Lane, as well as a possible combative resident at a Darrow Road facility. In each case, EMS handled medical care, with officers providing support as needed.
Officers were also sent multiple times to senior living and rehabilitation facilities on Barlow Road, Darrow Road and Hudson Drive for civil matters, welfare checks, suspicious activity and staff requests for assistance.
