Small Town Misfit

North Olmstead, OH
A North Olmsted man got an extra Christmas present mixed in with his final alimony payment from his ex-wife.

North Olmsted police were called at 1:30 p.m. Dec. 7 to the man’s Maple Ridge Road home. He reported that his ex-wife left her final $650 alimony payment to him in change in a five-gallon bucket. The ex-husband stated he had no problem with the way the payment was made, however, there had been glue, red pepper and razor blades mixed in the bucket with the coins.

The ex-wife was contacted and stated she had called her ex-husband, telling him she would make the final alimony payment in person rather than mail a check as she had done in the past. She also admitted to sprinkling red pepper and glue on the coins, but stated she did not whatsoever put the razor blades in with the change. When the ex-wife left the bucket of change at her ex-husband’s door, it was taped shut and the words done, farewell, and finished were written in black on the tape.

A total of six razor blades were recovered and will be checked for fingerprints on the blades, if necessary. After final investigation the report will be sent to the city prosecutor for a ruling.
