Uber Driver Flags Down Officer After Racino Ejection in Northfield Village

A man escorted out of Northfield Park Racino did not stay gone for long. His return trip highlights a week of Northfield Village police activity in Summit County. Officers recorded 10 incidents from Oct. 7 to Oct. 13, and the racino on Northfield Road was the setting for six of them. Below are the incidents, grouped by type and listed by date. Domestic Calls Oct. 10: Teen Girl Charged on Kennedy Boulevard A call came in at 11:17 a.m. about an unruly juvenile female at a Kennedy Boulevard residence. Responding officers learned a domestic incident had occurred. They arrested the girl and charged her with domestic violence. She was booked into the Juvenile Detention Center. Oct. 12: Chestnut Avenue Call Remains Open Officers responded to Chestnut Avenue at 6:05 p.m. for a domestic situation. After speaking with everyone involved, police arranged for a woman to be taken to a nearby hospital for psychological treatment. She faces pending charges. Police list the case as an open investigation. Public Order Arrests Oct. 9: Ejected Patron Returns, Struggles With Officer Around 11:38 p.m., an officer checking on the racino saw security escorting a highly intoxicated man out of the building. He was making a scene and would not arrange a ride or leave the property. Given the option of finding a ride or going to jail for disorderly conduct, he chose neither. Officers handcuffed him and wrote him a disorderly conduct citation. At that point, he agreed to call an Uber. He was warned about trespassing before he left. Minutes later, his Uber driver stopped the officer. She reported that the man had yelled at her and demanded to be taken to his car. Police located him in the racino parking lot. When the officer tried to handcuff him, he resisted. A short scuffle on the ground ended with him in custody. Fire crews checked him over and took him to the hospital because of his level of intoxication. Criminal trespass and resisting arrest charges are expected to follow.
