MIDDLEPORT — Two men were arrested and charged with the theft of two all-terrain vehicles from a Pearl Street residence, Middleport Police Chief Bruce Swift reported.

Swift said the search continues for several other suspects in the thefts, and that warrants for their arrests have been issued.

Swift and Patrolman Joel Lynch arrested Raymond E. Klein, Park Street, on a charge of felony theft, and Timothy Shane, Broadway Street, for receiving stolen property. Both were jailed pending an appearance in Meigs County Court.

Swift said the 2007 Honda 400EX and 2002 Honda 400EX were reported stolen by Darren Cox of Pearl Street. The officers conducted two search warrants in connection with the report and arrests. Officers also recovered an all-terrain vehicle stolen from Gallia County.

Meanwhile, Christy Fisher, Sycamore Street, advised that two 2007 Honda 50 motorcycles and a 2006 Alta four-wheeler were removed from an outbuilding, where they were chained up. Swift asked anyone with information about their disappearance is asked to contact the police department or sheriff’s department.

Swift also reported:

• Emily Sanders, Reedsville, reported her purse was stolen out of her truck on North Third Avenue. It was recovered near Foreman and Abbott, and video surveillance at TNT Pit Stop, North Second Avenue, led police to a suspect, who was identified. Investigation continues.

• Eugene Morrison, Pearl Street, advised that someone entered his outbuilding and stole a chain saw and miscellaneous items.

• Michelle Dorsey, Pomeroy, was arrested and jailed for disorderly conduct by intoxication, impeding traffic, reasonable control of a motor vehicle after she stopped in the roadway while having an argument with her passengers.

Dorsey got out of her car and later returned, Swift said. Also arrested was a passenger in Dorsey’s car, Elizabeth Morgan, Akron, on a charge of disorderly conduct by intoxication, open container and resisting arrest.

• Charles Pennington, Broadway Street, was charged with domestic violence after his girlfriend, Sara Moon-McKnight, advised police he punched her in the face and bruised his arms.

• Gregory Knapp, Hudson Street, reported someone tried to pry his door open while he went to pick up his children from school.

• James Hubbard, Pearl Street, advised someone took a pair of Oakley glasses, and ATV helmet, white and silver in an orange and black bag, racing boots, size 10, riding pants and riding glasses.
