Ongoing domestic dispute leads to theft of man’s ashes
DAYTON - An ongoing domestic dispute that has involved police at least four times in the last three weeks took a bizarre turn with the theft of a man’s ashes Sunday, Jan. 3.
Officers responded to the 100 block of North Garland Avenue Sunday after Lacey Strader, 21, reported the father of her child, Michael Kincaid had taken off with their son and an urn containing her father’s ashes, according to a police report.
Strader said she woke up just before 10 a.m. after hearing some commotion in her kitchen and came out of her bedroom to find Kincaid in her home, the report stated.
The couple began to argue and Strader told Kincaid she was calling police, the report stated.
Strader said Kincaid grabbed an urn containing her father’s ashes and left, the report stated. She said Kincaid was also supposed to drop off their son, but left with the boy.
The child was later returned to Strader’s relatives, but not the urn, the report stated. It appears police are going to let a judge work out the ongoing dispute as the couple already had a court date scheduled for Jan. 14 to deal with another domestic violence issue, the report stated.
Strader was ordered into the city prosecutor’s office for a meeting on Wednesday, the report stated.
