An arrest and an observant detective led to a reunion of a woman and her lost class ring.
Ashley Call, 31, is to be in an Ohio courtroom Monday on single counts of burglary, drug possession and probation violation, according to online jail records and a police incident report filed Friday.
That part of the story unremarkable.
The owner of the ring, identified in the incident report as Erin Dillon, is just glad Detective Danielle Cash noticed the class ring on Call’s finger during an investigative interview into the burglary of a family member’s home.
Call was taken into custody on Thursday, outside a Circle K store after the arresting officer said he recognized Call from her mug shot.
She even “started patting herself down,” the officer said, when “I merely asked her if she had any weapons on her person.”
What the officer said he did find in one of her hands was a small, clear plastic bag containing a white substance thought to be meth or crack.
The officer also searched Call’s purse to find a purple Crown Royal bag (which normally holds the bottle of whisky) that contained four crack pipes and a man’s ring inside a pill bottle half full of pills.
On her way to the Montgomery County Jail, Call told the officer the white substance in the plastic bag was crack.
According to the incident report, all of the case evidence — except the class ring — is under police lock and key. Dillon, who came to police department’s Second District to claim her class ring, told police she lost it five years ago.
