The Hudson Police Department has released its incident log for the two week stretch of August 11 through August 24. The calls ranged from a violent domestic dispute to fraud reports, traffic stops and a string of animal encounters. Here is what happened, broken down by what residents are most likely to want to know.
The most serious call
On August 16, police were called to Bradford Way for a domestic situation. According to the report, a suspect struck his ex wife in the face and caused visible injury. It was the most serious incident logged during the two week period.
Assault reports were also filed at two separate care facilities. One came from Laurel Lake Drive on August 13, and another from West Streetsboro Street on August 19.
Property and fraud calls
Several property related complaints came through the department during the period. A resident on Wren Haven Drive reported fraud on August 11. That same day, an employee reported being threatened at work, a complaint filed directly at the police station on South Main Street.
Criminal mischief was reported three times: on Ashley Drive on August 14, near Barlow Road and Abbyshire Drive on August 15, and near Barlow Road and Terex Road on August 20. A possible burglary attempt on Norton Road was reported on August 23, though police say it had actually happened around 3 a.m. that day.
Property damage complaints came from a parking area on Village Way on August 16, from the police station lobby on August 19, and from State Route 8 Northbound, where a vehicle’s windshield was damaged the same day.
A traffic stop near Aurora Street and North Hayden Parkway on August 24 turned up something unexpected. The driver and a passenger were found to have an active civil protection order against each other through the Summit County Sheriff’s Office.
Traffic and road calls
Three drivers were stopped without a valid license during the period, on West Streetsboro Street on August 11, near Barlow Road and Terex Road on August 12, and near Hudson Drive and Hudson Gate on August 17. That third stop ended with a citation and a tow after officers learned the driver was under multiple suspensions.
Police also responded to a reckless operation crash near Boston Mills Road early on August 20. A separate call about a derailed train on Stow Road turned out to involve a train that was simply stopped and blocking the crossing.
Missing people and wellness checks
A juvenile made suicidal statements during a call on Hemingway Court on August 14, prompting a welfare check. Two days later, a missing adult and juvenile were reported from a Paderborne Drive address.
August 22 brought two more missing person reports, one from Kate Circle and another involving a 17 year old who had left home without contact from a Steepleview Drive address. That same day, officers gave an elderly man a ride home and helped reunite a girl with special needs with her family after the two became separated in town.
Medical calls and animal encounters
An assisted living facility on Omni Lake Parkway reported a sudden death on August 12. On August 15, an armed security guard at a Hudson Crossing Parkway business suffered a panic attack. A combative elderly patient led to a medical assist call at Laurel Lake Drive on August 16, and a Parmelee Drive resident who fell from a roof on August 19 refused medical treatment.
Animals accounted for several calls. A sick raccoon was euthanized on Redwood Boulevard on August 13, a wounded raccoon was reported on Regan Court on August 17, and an injured raccoon that had fought with a resident’s dog was euthanized on Huntington Road on August 18. A Canada goose was also euthanized near Darrow Road and Terex Road on August 22 after being found injured.
Beyond these calls, officers responded to numerous additional reports of suspicious activity, noise complaints, civil disputes and disabled vehicles throughout Hudson during the two week span.
