'Pretty slow' day for crime
Hamilton Co. logs 29 arrests; in jails, it's turkey for 2,000

More than two dozen Hamilton County residents managed to get themselves arrested on Thanksgiving Day.
By 6 p.m. Thursday — just in time to carve the bird at many homes — local police had filed 29 arrest reports at the Hamilton County Justice Center.
The arrests included an assault, a burglary, a breaking-and-entering, three low-level drug offenses, three driving-under-the-influence charges, five prostitution busts and five domestic violence charges.
Alicia Backs, a dispatcher with the Hamilton County Communications Center, said, “It's actually been pretty slow today. I was expecting a few more domestic violence reports. But that's good, I guess; not that many people were out there hurting each other.”
But some were.
In Amberley Village, a man was arrested Thursday for an attempted burglary early Tuesday. He allegedly confronted a 76-year-old widow in her home and tried to run off with her purse and a wooden box of silver service. The items are listed as evidence now.
In Delhi Township, a husband and wife were arrested for domestic violence — he for allegedly punching her in the stomach, she for allegedly kicking him in the groin.
In Deer Park, a man allegedly pushed, choked and threatened to kill his wife.
In North College Hill, a woman allegedly bit her spouse and broke some dishes and kitchen furniture.
Many of those arrested Thursday were released on bond. Others joined more than 2,000 inmates in the County's various jails. They marked the holiday with a turkey dinner and the trimmings.
The inmates' menu: 3 ounces of turkey breast, half-cup of dressing, half-cup of mashed potatoes, gravy, three-eighths-cup of green beans, cranberry sauce, roll with margarine, slice of pumpkin pie and 8 ounces of iced tea.
