NEWS RELEASE​​​​​​​​

April 29, 2025


Scioto County Sheriff David Thoroughman stated on April 28, 2025, at 7:20 a.m., the 911 Communications Center received a call of threats being made to individuals at a residence on Wolf Run Rd. in West Portsmouth. While deputies were responding to the home, the callers called back and advised that a silver Acura pulled in front of their home and the occupants were making threats, and one of the occupants fired a shot from inside the vehicle towards their home.


Deputies responded to the residence and began to look for the suspect vehicle, and a BOLO was given to surrounding agencies. Detectives responded to the residence to process the crime scene.


The suspect vehicle was located shortly after the incident in a parking lot at Kendall Heights Apartments in Portsmouth. Detectives responded to the vehicle location. The suspects were believed to be staying in one of the apartments. Once a possible location of the suspects was obtained, Scioto County Sheriff’s Office detectives, deputies, as well as officers from the Portsmouth Police Department, contacted four individuals inside an apartment. The individuals were detained and brought to the Sheriff’s Office for questioning. Evidence related to the shooting was obtained from the apartment.


As a result of the investigation, two individuals were arrested.


Arrested was Ashton G. Goodman, age 20, of 430 Baker Dr, Newark, Ohio. Also arrested was a male juvenile. Both have been charged with one count of Improperly Discharging a Firearm at or into a Habitation, a felony of the 2 nd degree, and one count of Improperly Handling Firearms in a Motor Vehicle, a felony of the 4th degree. Goodman appeared in Portsmouth Municipal Court on Tuesday, April 29, 2025, and is being held on a $25,000 bond. The male juvenile is currently being held at the Ross County Juvenile Detention Center.


Sheriff Thoroughman would like to thank the Portsmouth Police Department and PMHA Security for their assistance in this case.


Sheriff Thoroughman stated this is still an ongoing investigation that could result in more charges being presented to the Scioto County Grand Jury at a later date.


Anyone with information should contact Detective Donald Tackett-Dye at (740) 351-1099.

This is a concerning report, and it’s always unsettling to read about incidents involving violence in local communities. It really highlights the importance of timely law enforcement response and ongoing efforts to improve public safety and prevent such events in the future.

At the same time, discussions around education and awareness, including platforms like Biology Assignment Helper, can play a small but meaningful role in helping students understand human behavior, health, and social factors that sometimes connect indirectly to broader societal issues.

유익한 내용 감사합니다. 실제 경험과 함께 읽으니 더 이해가 잘 되네요. 저는 cps 측정기 에서 CPS를 측정해보곤 하는데 클릭 속도와 마우스 반응성을 꾸준히 체크하는 데 도움이 됩니다.

Simulation tools can be a fun way to explore how complex projects like subway construction bring together planning, logistics, and resource management — they give a sense of the decisions and trade-offs that real engineers face. It also highlights how perception and context influence conversations in very different fields: discussions about performance and pressure around athletes, like Mārtiņš Lauva, show how public expectations and media narratives shape how people talk about results, whether it’s in sport, virtual simulations, or real-world projects.
