12 Feb 2025 Lt. Hornbeck was on patrol near the intersection of Hocking Road and Newbury Road, Belpre Township. A vehicle was observed in the roadway with the hazard lights on. Lt. Hornbeck proceeded to check the vehicle and offer assistance. Upon stopping, Lt. Hornbeck made contact with the driver/registered owner, Sabrina D. Thomas. Thomas was found to have an odor of an alcoholic beverage on/or about her person. Thomas spoke to Lt. Hornbeck with somewhat slurred speech, and when asked to exit the vehicle, stated someone was on their way to pick her up. Thomas stated she had stopped because of the deer she had seen and she was afraid of hitting one. Thomas exited the vehicle and was unsteady on her feet. A short time later a subject arrived to drive Thomas to her residence. Thomas was back in the vehicle, with the engine off, and speaking with the individual there to assist her. Thomas then drove off from the location and Lt. Hornbeck then proceeded after Thomas in the marked sheriff’s vehicle, with emergency lights and siren activated. Thomas stopped approximately ½ mile down the road. Thomas again exited the vehicle and refused to follow commands.
