David Michael Havrilek

NORTON, Ohio - An Akron man has been charged with four counts of attempted murder after an exchange of gunfire with Barberton and Norton police officers at a storage facility Tuesday evening.

David Michael Havrilek is also charged with four counts of felonious assault and single counts of weapons under disability and inducing panic, according to Barberton Municipal Court records.

Havrilek is still at Cleveland Clinic Akron General, Norton City Administrator Robert Fowler said.

Three Norton police officers and one Barberton police officer are on paid administrative leave following the incident per departmental policy, but are expected to return to work soon, Fowler said.

Havrilek was shot at least once in the incident that happened after the manager of Barber Road Storage called 911 about 7 p.m. and said a man was at her business with an assault rifle.

She also reported to police that he had a machete and ammunition was all over the ground.

"I guess he was in the office and he was totally drugged out of his mind," she told a dispatcher. "...I've got my manager and my maintenance guy that are trapped back there and are terrified to leave because he's walking around with some sort of assault rifle."

Havrilek fired at officers when they arrived on scene. Police have not said why he fired at officers immediately or if he was shot more than once.

Havrilek ran to the back of the facility after being shot, police said. Police have not said where he was shot. He was taken to Cleveland Clinic Akron General where he assaulted a hospital nurse, according to a news release from Norton police.

Family and records show that Havrilek was going through financial hardship and has a history of violence.

Authorities have not said if Havrilek had a storage unit at the facility or if police executed any search warrants. An employee at the storage facility could not comment on if he had a storage unit.
