BROOK PARK, Ohio

Discharging a firearm, Darke Boulevard

A 33-year-old man accidentally shot himself in the leg while toying with a loaded revolver.

The man said he was visiting a friend on Darke at the time. The friend, who was with the man in the basement, had removed the revolver from an ammunition can and was preparing to clean the weapon and place it in a case.

The man picked up the revolver and started spinning the cylinder. As he did, the weapon discharged, and a bullet entered the man’s thigh and did not exit his body. The man’s friend corroborated the story.

The man ended up at Southwest General Health Center in Middleburg Heights. It wasn’t clear whether paramedics or the man’s friend drove him to the hospital.

Police did not recommend criminal charges due to the accidental nature of the incident. Police didn’t say where the man lived.

Trespassing, Holland Road

An Oberlin man, 20, and a Brook Park man, 19, were caught trespassing on a Holland construction site at about 12:30 a.m. June 6.

A witness saw the men and called police. When police arrived, the 20-year-old emerged from the construction site. He said he was “just messing around” and hadn’t stolen anything. The older man identified the younger man for police, but the younger man wasn’t seen.

Police called the younger man on his cell phone. They told him the construction site was surrounded and ordered him to come out. The younger man said, “OK,” but didn’t appear.

Police drove to the younger man’s home on Starlite Drive and found him there. He initially denied being on the construction site, but admitted talking to police on the phone. Then he confessed that he had been on the construction site earlier.

Police cited both men and arrested the Brook Park man because he was wanted.
