Police Blow Whistle on Weed-Dealing Referee: Best of the Blotter

Here are some of the weirdest police reports and incidents from departments across the region.

Here are this week's most bizarre police calls, reports and charges. All information was provided by police reports from departments in Patch communities.

Roger Ward, 22, was scheduled to work Westlake's homecoming game against Olmsted Falls last week. Before kickoff, he pulled into the Westlake Police station to ask where he should park. Instead of advice, he got arrested. Police noticed the smell coming from his car and soon found marijuana in jars and plastic …

Masseuse Solicits Patron & Loud Sex Complaint: Best of the Blotter

Here are some of the weirdest police reports from departments across the region

Here are this week's most bizarre police calls, reports and charges. All information was provided by police reports from departments in Patch communities. Where arrests or charges are mentioned, it does not indicate a conviction. No happy ending here — A man went to a North Canton masseuse for a full-body massage, but ended up getting solicited for additional services. The man provided North Canton Police with a cell-phone recording of The Massage Center employee "soliciting sexual acts for hire along with prices and agreements/conditions," according to the report." The report did not include arrest information, but soliciting is a third-degree misdemeanor. Keep it down, please — Sometimes a Stow resident hears a variety of loud noises …

Here are some of the weirdest police reports from departments across the region

Here are this week's most bizarre police calls, reports and charges. All information was provided by police reports from departments in Patch communities. Where arrests or charges are mentioned, it does not indicate a conviction. Nursing home nap: A nursing home bed can be too comfortable to pass up. A drunken man couldn't do it on Aug. 5 in North Canton. Police responded to Windsor Medical Center after a caller said a 21-year-old man was asleep in a resident's bed. He had no relation to the residents and no permission to be on the Windsor grounds. Laying down on lawns: In Stow, front lawns were the best options for a man in need of rest.

Marijuana Cab Fare & Sidewalk Sleeping: Best of the Blotter

Here are some of the weirdest police reports from departments across the region

Here are this week's head-scratching police calls and charges. All information was provided by police reports from departments in Patch communities. Where arrests or charges are mentioned, it does not indicate a conviction. Pay your way with weed — When it's time to pay a taxi driver, money and drugs are all the same, right? Jacob Bruckner, a 38-year-old of Massillon, rationalized as much on June 27 when a driver took him to a Holiday Inn near Bath Township. He owed the driver $24 and said he would go get some money from the hotel. When he returned, Bruckner handed over $15 and small bag of marijuana. The driver declined the offer, opting to call police instead. Officers got an additional $5 out of Bruckner and charged him with drug abuse…
