  FEMALE THREATENS SUICIDE AT CEMETERY

On Friday at 11:30 P.M. a Sheriff’s Deputy responded to Holy Cross Cemetery on Waterloo Road for a female threatening suicide by knife while on the telephone with a dispatcher.  When the deputy arrived, the female was in her vehicle holding a knife to her throat and she continued to make threats against her own life. 

 Sheriff’s negotiators were called to the scene and after 2 1/2 hours, they talked the female into putting the knife down.  The 48-year-old female was transported to Akron General Hospital for evaluation.  Neither the female victim nor Sheriff’s Deputies incurred any injuries.

 FOLLOW-UP QUESTIONS SHOULD BE DIRECTED TO INSPECTOR WILLIAM HOLLAND AT 330-643-5091 OR SGT. SCOTT COTTLE AT 330-808-7040.
