Cash, drugs, jewelry stolen from motel

By Brian Smith
Register News Writer

Richmond police received two reports of thefts from rooms at the Hines Motel, and both times, police found no evidence of forced entry.

On Jan. 7, a resident reported the theft of a gold “pinky ring” and 40 hydrocodone pills from his room. The items were valued at $325.

The next day, a resident reported that his room had been entered three times, none of which had been reported to police, and a gold-colored men’s watch, a women’s watch, two gold cross-shaped earrings, a knife and $50 in cash were stolen in the burglaries.

Those items were valued at $300.

Bullet goes through van

The driver of a handicapped van owned by a Berea company reported a gunshot passed through the vehicle while it was parked outside a local day care.

Police say the van, owned by P Cab Co. of Berea, was parked on Commercial Drive on Wednesday near Richmond Active Day Care Center while the driver waited to pick up adult passengers.

The driver heard a shattering sound and discovered that a bullet had passed cleanly through two rear windows.

Officers searched the area for suspects, but were unable to locate anyone. The driver did not hear the shot.

Unlawful imprisonment

A Berea woman was arrested Thursday for driving under the influence, resisting arrest, second-degree unlawful imprisonment and illegal possession of a prescription drug after police say she ran a woman off the road and blocked her in.

Holly A. VanZandt, 42, of Ashley Court in Berea, was arrested after an incident on Duncannon Lane where she allegedly forced a woman to pull over after nearly running into her car several times.

VanZandt then blocked the woman’s car with her own, preventing her from leaving.

Police arrested VanZandt on suspicion of being under the influence of an intoxicant following the incident, and found a Levoxyl pill in her purse without any indication of a prescription.

Other crimes:

• A woman reported Wednesday that a bottle containing 28 Xanax pills was stolen from the front seat of her unlocked car while she was inside the Clark Shell store on the Eastern Bypass. The bottle was still inside the pharmacy bag.

• An official with First Presbyterian Church reported four credit cards were stolen from the church’s office on W. Main Street. There was no evidence that the Walmart, BP, OfficeMax and Kroger cards had been used since they were taken, police said.

• A bicycle was reported stolen Wednesday from a garage at a home in the 1100 block of W. Main Street. The blue, Smoothie, 10-speed bicycle was valued at $400.

• An Outback Steakhouse patron reported Thursday that a Craftsman tool kit worth $150 was stolen from the toolbox on his pickup truck while he was eating at the restaurant.

• A Nikon Coolpix camera worth $200 was reported stolen Thursday from the Richmond Regional Oncology Center. Employees say someone apparently entered the center between Tuesday and Thursday and took the camera. There were no signs of forced entry.

• The resident of an apartment in the 100 block of Meadowlark Drive reported 20 CDs were stolen Thursday from her unlocked car overnight. The CDs were valued at $100.

• A Robbins Drive resident reported Thursday that a pair of Nike Lebron James basketball shoes, a Nike backpack, two bottles of cologne and 20 CDs were stolen from his unlocked car overnight. The items were valued at $435.

• A brown Coach purse, 40 CDs, baking pans and a bottle of perfume were reported stolen Thursday from an unlocked car by an apartment resident in the 100 block of S. Killarney Lane. The items, valued at $296, were taken during the overnight hours.

• Michelle D. Kelley, 23, of Keeneland Drive, was arrested Thursday and charged with third-degree possession of a controlled substance following a traffic stop on Turpin Drive. A search of her vehicle found an unmarked bottle containing several Schedule V controlled substances.

• Steven A. Carl, 40, of Lowery Heights in Richmond, was arrested Thursday for possession of marijuana and tampering with evidence after attempting to eat what officers believe was marijuana during a traffic stop.

Anyone with information about these crimes is asked to call the Richmond Police Department at 623-1162 or 623-8911.
