LORAIN, Ohio -- A 29-year-old Lorain woman begged for her life after a gunman opened fire inside her East Side home Sunday.

"Don't shoot me, please," the woman said to the gunman during a 911 call to Lorain police.

911 call: Lorain shooting

Police say Ricardo M. Johnson, 30, of Elyria, shot the victim's dog several times, and pointed a gun at others in the home in the 1300 block of Madison Avenue because he was angry after he lost $5 in a card game.

Johnson was arraigned Monday in Lorain Municipal Court. Judge Mark Mihok set his bond at $50,000. He remains in the Lorain city jail.

Johnson faces charges of aggravated menacing, endangering children, having weapons under disability, discharge of a firearm on prohibited premises, prohibitions concerning companion animals, operating a vehicle under the influence of alcohol or drugs, willful or wanton disregard for safety on streets, and fleeing.

Johnson led police on an eight-minute chase that reached speeds of 65 mph on 25 and 35 mph streets on the city's West and East Sides, according to a police report. He surrendered without incident.

Johnson smelled of alcohol, his eyes were red and watery, and he had difficulty keeping his balance, police said. His blood alcohol level was .159, nearly twice the .08 legal limit to operate a vehicle in Ohio.

Johnson is due back in court for a preliminary hearing on Feb. 22.
