Darrell J. Nesbit, 44, of Otway, was arrested and transferred to Scioto County Jail, after officers discovered him with a truck load of scrap metal taken from a building at 1763 10th St., belonging to Norfolk Southern Railway.
According to a Portsmouth Police Department report, Nesbit and another man had shoved open an overhead door to the building and placed the scrap metal into the truck. A witness positively identified Nesbit, the report said.
Officers spoke with a Norfolk Southern official who told the police to charge the suspect. According to the report, Nesbit said he didn't go into the building because the scrap metal was laying outside the building. However, officers told him it still was a breaking and entering charge, because he had treapassed on property to commit a theft.
Rising waters close Ohio 239
Ohio 239 in Scioto County has been closed because of high water.
The route is closed between Ohio 73 and 104 at West Portsmouth and U.S. 52, because of backwater from surrounding tributaries and the Ohio River. Crews from ODOT's highway maintenance facility in Scioto County have placed high water signs and barricades to close the route; however, motorists are reminded crossing any closed route is prohibited.
Because the closure is contingent upon weather conditions, it is not known when the route will be reopened to traffic. While the route is closed, motorists may detour via U.S. 52 and Ohio 73/104.
For additional information regarding closures caused by flooding or other weather-related activity throughout the state, the public may visit the Ohio Department of Transportation's Web site at www.buckeyetraffic.org.
