Police said her pupils were pinpoints, and Steubenville firefighters/EMS had to revive her with 6 mg of Narcan. Police said they found a metal pipe, a push rod and chore boy in a box bsided her, and said she told firefighters she’d used heroin.

Hanging on: An Alexander Manor resident said his girlfriend's ex showed up at his house, drunk, threatening him, Sunday. He said the ex told him, "He will get him and kill him, whether it be today or tomorrow," police said. He said the ex was at his residence twice that day, walking around the house and looking around as if he was waiting" for him to come out.

Overindulged: A male was passed out in the grass at the intersection of North and Fifth streets, Sunday. Police said they were able to awaken the man, who they described as "highly intoxicated and … very hard to understand." He was transported to the hospital for treatment.

Napping: Callers reported a man was passed out under the Market Street Bridge, but he told police he was "laying in the grass, resting, and that everything was OK," Sunday.

Booked: A caller reported a man assaulting a woman in the 600 block of Oakmont Avenue, Sunday. Police said the front door was open when they arrived and two women were still inside the residence, one of them with a cut under one eye, with bleeding and swelling above and below it. The victim said the male forced the front door open and when she tried to closed it, he hit it, shoving it into her. Once inside she said he hit her, and police said the living room furniture was broken. The homeowner told police "she did not want to answer questions and became argumentative," police said. Police said the victim initially "denied anything going on and did not wish to pursue any charges," but five hours later reported she’d changed her mind. Dallas J. Fleshman, 29, 730 Rosswell Ave., was booked into the county jail on an assault charge.

Nuisance: A Mingo Junction woman told deputies her husband came home drunk and wouldn't leave her alone, Sunday. She said he came into the bedroom while she was trying to sleep and turned the lights on, and when she told him to go to the rec room and sleep he refused. Her husband said he was trying to talk to his wife but they ended up arguing instead.

Made her cry: A Mingo Junction teen locked herself in her bathroom after her mother threatened to assault because she wasn't listening, Monday. Mom said nothing physical happened.
