YOUNGSTOWN — Edmund L. Johnson, 57, was indicted Thursday on burglary, tampering with evidence and obstructing official business in a Dec. 3 incident on East Midlothian Boulevard on the South Side.

The burglary was solved because a resident called 911 to report that she was seeing a man inside her home on a video feed from her home surveillance system. If Johnson is convicted, he could get about 10 years in prison.

Johnson is listed as homeless in court records and remains in the Mahoning County jail, where he has resided since Dec. 4, according to jail records.

A Youngstown police report states that a woman called 911 at 9:13 p.m. to report she was watching a man burglarize her home on a live feed from her surveillance system.

An officer went to the rear of the home and found a book bag on the back porch and a broken window with curtains sticking out. The officer could hear things being thrown around in the home and lights being turned on and off, the report states.

As more officers arrived, as well as the resident, the front door of the home opened and a man, later identified as Johnson, was ordered to come out of the house.

Johnson then slammed the door and tried to run toward the rear of the home and climb out the window, where he was met by two Youngstown police officers. Johnson then went back in the house.

Officers used the key provided by the resident and went into the house through the front door. Johnson then did a “swan dive” out of a first-floor window, where he was arrested by three police officers.

On Johnson’s person were a TV remote, purple glasses, AirPods, a bluetooth speaker and the security camera the resident was using to view his movements in the house. In the “walkway” near the front door of the home, a television was wrapped in a blanket.

Johnson refused to identify himself to police other than to give his middle name, Lavan, and was hostile toward police, the report states. All of the items that had been taken were given back to the victim, and Johnson was taken to St. Elizabeth Youngstown Hospital and treated for possible mental health issues.

Later, police pulled up information on Johnson from earlier 2023 police reports that helped identify him. Johnson has warrants for his arrest through the Ohio Parole Authority for aggravated robbery and burglary from the 1980s, the report states.

Ohio prison and Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles images confirmed Johnson’s identity, and Johnson also later confirmed his identity, police said.

Johnson has no recent criminal cases in Youngstown Municipal Court or Mahoning County Common Pleas Court. He was sentenced to five to 25 years in prison in March 1995 on each of two counts of aggravated burglary by Judge Peter Economus of Mahoning County Common Pleas Court. Johnson had an address on Rush Boulevard at the time.

The late Judge James Evans of common pleas court also sentenced Johnson to 10 years in prison in October 2002 after Johnson was found guilty by a jury of aggravated robbery.
