Dellzell Chenoweth, 61, of 430 N. Oak St., Lakeview, was charged with telecommunications harassment and resisting arrest relating to an incident Monday, Nov. 20.

Deputies of the Logan County Sheriff’s Office initially were dispatched shortly after noon to her address for a well-being check. Dispatchers from the Bellefontaine Police Department reported that Chenoweth was continuously calling Mary Rutan Hospital, stating that Chenoweth was acting erratically and screaming.

Deputies made the well-being check, but then were dispatched back to the Oak Street residence about 1:55 p.m. after the defendant reportedly had treated to harm staff members at the hospital.

While speaking with Chenoweth, deputies observed an odor of alcohol on her breath and said her speech was slurred. She denied making any threats against the employee.

Chenoweth began to resist deputies’ efforts to place her under arrest, but she was secured in handcuffs and transported to the Logan County Jail.
