Sheriff Ray said that on June 30 Summers broke into a white 1994 Jeep on Midway Road and took a Sony Explode radio, a chrome/orange 300 watt amp, 2-12 inch kicker subs in a box, and a black DOT motorcycle helmet. Total value of the stolen items is $500.

Matthew Edwin Riihimaa, 67, of Captain’s Point Road, Silver Point was charged with domestic assault and violation of an order of protection. His bond totals $8,000, and he will make a court appearance on the charges December 10 and 17.

Sheriff Ray said that on November 27 a deputy responded to a 911 domestic assault call from a residence on Captain’s Point Road. Upon arrival the officer spoke with Rhiihimaa and the victim and learned through a further investigation that Rhiihimaa had assaulted the woman by forcibly grabbing her left arm and pushing her down on the couch all the while verbally threatening her. The couple had been in a domestic relationship and he was determined to have been the primary aggressor. A records check through central dispatch revealed that the victim in this case had an active order of protection against Rhiihimaa and that he was in violation of the order by coming to the woman’s home and assaulting her.

Two days later, on November 29 a deputy was called back to the woman’s home due to an unwanted guest. Upon arrival the officer found Rhiihimaa asleep in an upstairs bedroom, and he was there in violation of the order of protection.

Davidson was placed under arrest.

Donald Glen Bain, 40, of Ferrell Road, Smithville was charged with domestic assault. His bond is $1,500.
