Jan. 3—A woman is accused of shooting a man at a New Year’s party in Clearcreek Twp.
Olivia Marie Clendenin, 28, is in the Warren County Jail on suspicion of felonious assault and multiple weapons violations.
Clearcreek Twp. police were dispatched around 5 a.m. Wednesday to a house in the 5500 block of Dearth Road for a report of a drive-by shooting. The location is about a mile south of Springboro High School and a mile west of Ohio 741.
When officers arrived, they found a 36-year-old man with a gunshot wound to the abdomen. He is expected to recover, Clearcreek Lt. Wallace Stacy said Friday.
The party was at the home of Clendenin’s boyfriend, who invited several people for a New Year’s Eve party, including Clendenin’s estranged husband, Stacy said.
When Clendenin showed up, Stacy said she was apparently angry with both men. When she left the party, “she drove through the front yard and fired shots toward the house.”
Clendenin then crashed her 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee a short distance away on McLean Road, according to police. The Warren County Sheriff’s Office is investigating the crash.
The shooting remains under investigation, and Stacy said detectives are still trying to determine motivations in the case.
