Police say man, officers scuffled
Bath entrepreneur taken to hospital after incident
Beacon Journal staff report
BATH TWP. - A Bath Township man with prior run-ins with police is being investigated for a Wednesday incident that ended in a scuffle with officers and a trip to St. Thomas Hospital for evaluation.
Bath Township police officers responded to the Granger Road home of Ryan D. Johnson after being told that the man was breaking out the windows of his residence, according to a police report.
Police were also told, according to the report, that Johnson turned on a water faucet in a second-floor bathroom and left it running, causing it to overflow and seep through the kitchen ceiling.
Police say Johnson threatened to jump off the roof of the home at one point and also fought with officers. He was taken to St. Thomas Hospital by emergency medical technicians after the incident.
St. Thomas had no listing for Johnson on Thursday. The Bath Township Police Department declined to comment on the status of their investigation, including whether Johnson faces any charges.
Wednesday wasn't the first time Johnson, a local Internet entrepreneur, came in contact with police officers.
He was arrested April 19 of last year on a charge of obstructing official business after a Fairlawn police officer reported that Johnson refused a request to produce a driver's license and remain in his vehicle while being cited for a fire lane violation at Summit Mall.
Bath Township police also responded to Johnson's home in mid-May after an SUV was smashed and another luxury vehicle wound up in a creek.
