April 22 the LCSO assisted the Chillicothe Police in responding to calls for service at their request due to several of their staff tied up on an investigation. The LCSO assisted a CPD officer with multiple calls on a juvenile that was allegedly committing vehicle burglaries. The juvenile was located and less than cooperative by resisting our deputy, but was returned to the home where a parent was made aware of the problems. A short while later our deputy and a CPD officer returned to the location as the juvenile was creating a disturbance in the home and again attempted to resist the officers again. Juvenile officer was contacted for instructions and the juvenile was left with the parent pending juvenile officer action.
