      Less than a week after a Sheldon Ave.resident complained that drug overdoses were “getting out of hand” at the Wagon Wheel Motel, 7015 Market St., a record of dispatch calls show that Boardman police were at the motel four times over a two-day period.
      According to public records, police have answered calls at the motel more than 30 times this year alone.
      On Sat., Apr. 15, about 1:05 p.m., police were called to the motel for an ‘ongoing situation’ between a mother and daughter, a 13-year-old girl who was reportedly ‘out of control, making threats and throwing things.’
      Lucinda Zecher told police her daughter hadn’t been listening to her, “takes the phone from her, leaves without permission and is using marihuana,” Ptl. Heather Dobbins reported.
      Zecher said she and her daughter had been living at the Wagon Wheel “for a few weeks” and the teenager had been expelled from school on October and since that time has not attended school.
      40 minutes later, police were back at the Wagon Wheel to arrested Zecher on warrants issued out of Campbell for abandoning animals and cruelty to animals.
      According to Officer Dobbins, Zecher’s daughter was not at the motel at the time of her arrest, as she left “with permission” with her uncle.
      On Sun., Apr. 16, about 7:20 a.m., police received a call from a man who said he had asked for a refund of the money he paid to the motel, claiming his room had “bed bugs.”
      Again on Sun., Apr. 16, near 6:00 p.m., police were called to the motel by a woman who said she wanted to “drop off” her mother after an Easter dinner, but the landlord locked the woman out of her room, claiming she owed $20 to the business. The woman claimed she was “paid-up for the month.”
      Ptl. Chad Doran answered that call and spoke with Candice Desimone, 26, of 248 Myron St., Hubbard, Oh.
      Desimone said her mother had paid the $20 three days in advance of its due date, Apr. 19, and when she found out her mom had been locked out of her room, she confronted motel manager Richard Dzuray, claiming the man “verbally assaulted her” using profanity and calling her a ‘fat bitch.’
      Motel owner Chirag Patel told police there had been an argument regarding the unpaid bill, and the door jamb to the room Desimone’s mother was staying in had been damaged when Desimone went to get her mother’s belongings.
      Officer Doran said he observed damage to the door jamb, noting Dzuray said he wanted the mom “out of the room.”
      Officer Doran also noted “Patel agreed to return the $20 the mom paid him” and Desimone and her mother left the place.
      Little more than two hours later, police were back at the Wagon Wheel, this time for an auto theft report.
      Maurice Gooch, 36, of 54 Fernwood Ave., Youngstown, Oh., told police his 2006 Cadillac STS with custom 22-inch chrome rims, tinted windows and custom blue paint, had been stolen.
      Gooch told police he checked into room #14 about 1:00 a.m. on Apr. 16 after a long day of work and was alone and “must have left the car unlocked with the key fob inside the vehicle.”
      Gooch told Ptl. Bill Bowers he had insurance on the vehicle that was financed through Six Brother’s Auto Sales, 935 Oak St., Youngstown.
      Shortly after 9:00 p.m. on Apr. 16, the stolen car report was cancelled, as police said Gooch’s ride was recovered behind 619 West Boston, Youngstown, by the Youngstown Police Department. It had no tires and no wheels, police said.
      When Boardman Trustees heard the Sheldon Ave. resident complain about the Wagon Wheel, their administrator, Jason Loree said that township officials have been “checking out all the motels along Market St., from Rt. 224 to Shields Rd. and we have met with the county prosecutor about this.”
