Ohio Karen falsely called police on Black man using his phone, said he was carrying a gun
RAVENNA, Ohio – On Aug. 13, Darren Cooper was in Ravenna for the first time.
A Hudson resident who works for Summit County, he was at the Portage County Job and Family Services building parking lot off South Chestnut Street for a 9 a.m. training meeting. Cooper got to the building early, signed in and went to sit in his car at about 8:47 a.m., drinking tea and talking on his cell phone.
When the Ravenna cops pulled into the parking lot, he said he initially didn’t think anything of it. Summit County has police officers at the building he works in, he said, so he didn’t think anything was wrong until the fourth officer rolled in.
That’s also when the police came up to his car, yelling, “Put your hands up!”
A woman had called the Ravenna Police Department from a dentist’s office across the street and said a man was sitting in a black Mustang with a gun.
The Record-Courier, part of the USA TODAY Network, could not verify her identity.
