BOARDMAN — Problematic drivers are to be expected over the holiday weekend, but two drew special attention from police this year.

Both are charged with OVI in separate cases involving crashes.

Jennifer S. Theisler, 41, of New Philadelphia, was arrested Saturday night after police found her car crashed into a ditch along Truesdale Road near Lockwood Boulevard.

She appeared Monday for arraignment in Mahoning County Boardman Court, charged with OVI, refusing a test with a prior OVI conviction (2013, Canfield), failure to control and obstruction. Online court records do not indicate what plea, if any, she entered.

Danny Morgan III, 22, of Hanoverton, is charged with OVI, failure to control and a seatbelt violation. Morgan pleaded not guilty.

A police report states officers responded to a call Saturday night around 10:30 p.m. from the resident at a house on Lockwood. He said a woman appeared at his back sliding-glass door, trying to open it and pressing her face up against it.

Several people at the man’s home for a college football watch party observed her and took photos.

The report states they all told police she had a large lump on her forehead and was wearing no shoes. They said she told them she had been in a crash and that she appeared to be drunk. The woman fled just as police were arriving.

After identifying the vehicle in the ditch on Truesdale as belonging to Theisler, they began to search for her, using a police dog. They found her hiding under a trailer in the driveway of another Lockwood home.

The report states police had to order her to come out several times before she complied. She then told police she “[messed] up bad” by drinking and driving. She said she was visiting friends and family in the area. The report states Theisler appeared intoxicated and police detected a strong odor of alcohol on her breath.

The report states police also found flip-flops near the car and a glass tumbler commonly used for whiskey drinks, and one open can of Twisted Tea in the vehicle.

The report states that when an officer asked her to walk back toward her car with him, she started to follow, but stopped when she saw another cruiser parked near her car. She said “I’m getting arrested … thank you.”

She then refused to move from the spot and said she would not be arrested. The report states that she would not comply with any orders or efforts to move her, and when officers then attempted to handcuff her, she resisted further.

The report states that she also slammed her head into the ground and threatened to sue police for the lump on her forehead. She demanded that police call a local attorney — the same one who represented her in her 2013 OVI case — and told police her brother-in-law is in the U.S. Military Special Forces and she was going to send him after them.

She then said she wanted to go to the hospital, but refused all efforts by EMS personnel and hospital staff to treat her.

In the early hours of Friday morning, police responded to the area of Canterbury Lane and Annawan Lane for a crash. A Jeep Cherokee was overturned in the intersection of Canterbury and Simon Road, and the two occupants were sitting on the couch in the living room of an Annawan Lane home.

Paramedics arrived to treat the minor injuries that both had sustained in the crash, but they refused transport to the hospital.

The report states that officers noticed Morgan was visibly inebriated and smelled of alcohol and they asked him outside to perform some sobriety tests, all of which he allegedly failed. The report states he also fell asleep in the back of the police car on the way to the station.

Theisler is scheduled for a pretrial hearing Sept. 19 and Morgan on Sept. 24.
