BELLAIRE — Bellaire Police Chief Richard “Dick” Flanagan said that during the last two weeks, village police made 21 arrests with one case involving people allegedly holding a plastic gun to a victim’s head in his own home.

During a regular meeting last week, Flanagan informed Village Council that police had made 21 total arrests. Eight of those arrests were on warrants; four arrests were for disorderly conduct; two for domestic violence; one for illegal dumping; one juvenile was arrested for assault; three arrests were made for shoplifting; one for theft; and one person was arrested for felonious assault.

Another person, 27-year-old Robert Q. Sloan, was arrested Thursday for aggravated burglary, obstructing, persistent disorderly conduct and failure to appear. His bonds total $6,950, according to the Belmont County Jail.

Flanagan said charges are pending on two other suspected accomplices.

“They broke into a house, a guy was in the house and … they held a plastic gun to his head,” Flanagan said, declining to discuss the case further because it still is under investigation.

Flanagan said the victim in the case was not injured.

Police also have issued 29 citations with 27 of those into mayor’s court and two into Belmont County Eastern Division Court. Officers also answered four calls for Children’s Services. Also, during the past two weeks, the police department collected $825 on police reports and accident reports.

Flanagan said a new person has been hired to organize the ticket office. The job entails organizing the parking meter tickets and sending out notifications that they need to be paid.

“We’re starting to get some revenue coming in on unpaid parking tickets,” Flanagan said.

Regarding codes enforcement, Flanagan said residents are getting their grass and weeds cut, and that there appears to be an increase in building permits being issued. The village also is working to cut grass and weeds on a large scale by using Pultney Township’s tractor, which has an arm on it.

“Twenty percent of that tractor is ours. I’m going to get 23 percent out of it, maybe 35 percent,” Flanagan quipped.

Flanagan also said the village will begin using community service workers as they become available this summer.
