LAKEWOOD, Ohio – A Lakewood man whose AK-47 accidentally went off and fired several shots into a neighboring house was given a year of probation and was ordered to surrender his guns Tuesday.

Robert Ledinsky was initially charged with discharging a firearm within the city limits and improperly securing a firearm. Those charges were reduced as part of a plea bargain and he pleaded no contest to persistent disorderly conduct.

On Feb. 25, an Armin Avenue woman found a bullet hole in her closet, police said.

She searched the outside of her house and found more bullet holes on an outside wall, police said.

Police investigated and found the shots came from Ledinsky's AK-47, which had accidently discharged days earlier, according to a report.
