YOUNGSTOWN — Police were considering high-level felony charges against a man who allegedly tried to break into a home on Bessemer Street near Salt Springs Road on the West Side on Monday night.

No charges were on file at Youngstown Municipal Court on Tuesday for a person with the suspect’s name, but he was in the county jail Tuesday on high-level felony charges, according to jail records.

Officers were sent to the home at 6:59 p.m. Monday for a fight and / or gunfire and got to the scene and “secured” the suspect, then spoke to the parties at the scene, according to a Youngstown police report.

A witness said the suspect broke the window. Another person said the incident was over a dog. The person said the suspect knocked on the window really hard a couple of times and broke the window. A witness said the suspect then fired a gun.

The suspect had injuries to his face, and when officers asked the witness how that happened, they said all of them had assaulted the suspect. Officers saw a bullet hole that went through the door of the home and into a wall, the report states.

Officers learned that a woman was taking care of the suspect’s dog at the residence, and when the suspect and the woman broke up, the suspect wanted his dog back.

A witness said he or she thought the suspect broke the window to get the dog back. The suspect did not say anything when he hit the window, the report states, attributing that statement to multiple people. The names are blacked out in the report, making it difficult to tell what person provided the information.

Police told the suspect he was being arrested on charges of felonious assault and aggravated burglary, explaining to him the aggravated burglary was because police were told he broke the window trying to make entry into the house.

The suspect said the window broke when he was knocking on it. He asked if he could have his dog. The people in the house then forced him inside and he was not trying to break in, the report states.

He told officers that when the other people at the house were beating him up, he accidentally put his finger on the trigger of the gun and it went off.

When officers took the suspect to the county jail, officials would not take him because of his injured face, so they took him to St. Elizabeth Youngstown Hospital for treatment.

At the hospital, the suspect said he had a gun in his backpack but when the people in the house assaulted him, the gun came out of the backpack and he grabbed it and it accidentally discharged, the report states.
