Delphos man faces multiple charges

Delphos Police news

DELPHOS — A Delphos man was arrested in connection with two separate incidents that occurred this past Friday in that city.

At 3:55 p.m. Friday, Delphos police received a telephone call of an accident in the 100 block of West Clime Street, with the caller stating that a vehicle was in the Miami & Erie Canal. Upon officers’ arrival they came into contact with the driver of the vehicle, Larry Brincefield, 50, of Delphos, and found that Brincefield was operating a motor vehicle while having his driving privileges suspended for a prior drunk driving conviction.

As a result, Brincefield was cited into Van Wert Municipal Court on charges of operating a motor vehicle while his driver’s license was suspended and failure to maintain reasonable control of a motor vehicle.

Later that night, at 11:37 p.m. Friday, Delphos police were called to 227 W. Clime St., Lot 57, in reference to a domestic violence complaint at that location.

When officers arrived, they talked with the alleged victim, who advised that Brincefield had caused physical harm to the victim, who is a family or household member. Police officers found probable cause to arrest Brincefield on the charge of domestic violence, but, upon arresting Brincefield, the alleged victim became uncooperative and refused to pursue charges or complete paperwork.

Because of signs of physical harm on the alleged victim, and the fact that officers had been to the residence several times in the past on complaints of domestic related issues, police arrested Brincefield and took him to the Van Wert County Correctional Facility.

He will appear early this week in Van Wert Municipal Court on a charge of domestic violence.
