DAYTON — A theft suspect told police “you guys are ruining Christmas” after he was arrested while police investigated a suspicious circumstance involving copper wire at First Street Recycling, reported by the plant manager.
Steven Elzey, 35, was arrested on suspicion of obstructing official business and falsification at the business at 1341 E. First St. after police said he initially gave them his brother’s information, according to a Dayton Police Department report.

After determining Elzey’s correct identity, Dayton police learned he had a warrant for his arrest in Clark County.
“I should have ... run. I would have got away,” Elzey told police as they drove him to the Montgomery County Jail, the report stated.
Elzey is next scheduled to appear Nov. 30 in Dayton Municipal Court, and he has another hearing scheduled in January in Montgomery County Common Pleas Court for a suspected parole violation, jail records show.
