Northfield Village Police Arrest 2 Men Banned From Racino in Separate Calls

Northfield Village police logged nine reports from Sept. 30 to Oct. 6. Two of those calls sent officers to Northfield Park Racino to deal with men who were banned from the property for life. Both arrests happened on Sept. 30. Banned men arrested at the Racino Officers went to the Racino at about 7 p.m. after someone reported a lifetime banned man on the property. They found him in the high limits area. Police arrested him on a criminal trespass charge. He received a mandatory court date in Stow Municipal Court. A second call came in at about 9:10 p.m. the same night. Police again located a banned man, this time outside near the south door entrance. He was arrested on the same charge and also has a mandatory court date in Stow Municipal Court. The report does not say whether the two men are the same person. Woman summoned after a late night dispute Officers returned to the Racino at about 11:39 p.m. on Oct. 1 for a possible domestic dispute. Dispatch said a man and a woman were arguing and the woman was on the ground. Police found the woman highly intoxicated. The man had helped her up off the ground. Officers issued her a summons for disorderly conduct. The couple kept arguing in a car as officers left. Police circled back to check on them and saw the woman strike the man in the head. Officers removed her from the vehicle and detained her. Police determined the situation did not meet the criteria for domestic violence. The man chose not to pursue charges and left. Officers took the woman to a local motel. The report will go to the village prosecutor, who will decide whether to file further charges.
