Stickler “ was in and out of the store a few times. … seen with an item in his pocket,” the Proctorville police report states. “When confronted he laid the item on a shelf.

He confessed to stealing the hair clippers and planning to steal the thermometer. … He was under the influence of alcohol and drugs.”
Stickler was already on probation with the Chesapeake-based court.

A citizen is assaulted on Tuesday, knows and identifies his attacker to the police, and five days later they have not made contact with the perpetrator of the crime. Is this guy invisible? Probably on vacation in Ironton. RUNutz?

whats wrong with everyone all i hear is people from the town that i grew up in pointing the finger at someone else. i lived in ironton until i was 21 at which point i joined the military and have since only been back to visit. no matter where i am at i still miss ironton i love that town. i am a cop in the military and have to say even the crime rate on military installations has rose to unpresidented levels its a sad state for the economy, america and the world. as a cop i feel compeled to give some advice the worst part about my job is that i cannot do anything for anyone until the crime has happened, that eats at me i wish i could be everywhere at once but cops are not super heros. the best advice i can give is take the concealed carry classes, carry a firearm but dont break the law by carry a concealed weapon without the card because then you are no better than the criminals at which you are protecting yourself from. something we do on base is arrange town hall meetings and have training to teach people ways they can assist the police. without the proper information we can not do anything to help. you can give a description of a white male in a green truck but cops cannot pull over every green truck with a white male as the operator. so ask the police how you can help, arrange nieghborhood watch, hold town hall meetings, ask for crime analysis or do them yourself, if you see someone peeking through your nieghbors window dont confront the individual stay out of sight and call the police and keep an eye on the individual and relay that information to the dispatcher. well i hope this helps irotnon and i hate the fact that this town has started to head in this direction. god speed and goodluck...

Noone... If you want your comments taken seriously, write like a grown up. It's too hard to read your posts, no capital letters makes it look like one big run-on sentence.
RUNutz... Of COURSE, the perp has not been contacted... THAT would be actually resolving the issue. We can't have THAT in Lawrence county.
