ELYRIA — An Elyria man is facing drug charges after police responded to a report of shots fired on Melvyn Lane overnight.

Darryl Pruitt, 26, has been charged with trafficking in marijuana and possession of criminal tools.

Police were called to 1008 Melvyn Lane a little before 10 p.m. and met with a neighbor who said someone had shot at the residence next to hers.

According to a police report, the front door had been kicked open, and there was a bullet hole in the door.

Officers who entered the home found two bags of marijuana and a scale at the end of a living room couch and also noticed numerous bullet holes in a mirror nearby and a fired bullet on the floor. They also found two $20 bills at the top of a landing and a torn screen where it appeared someone had jumped through a bedroom window.

No one was in the home, so they continued taking photos for evidence, eventually finding another fired bullet outside.

The neighbor who had called police told them she heard the gunshots being fired and then heard voices and looked outside to see individuals running but could not see their faces.

While officers investigated, Pruitt and a woman came to the home.

Pruitt, who was limping, told officers he heard yelling outside and opened the door to an individual yelling and pointing, asking “Is that him?” Pruitt said he closed the door, fled upstairs and jumped out an upstairs window when he heard the door being kicked in.

Pruitt told police that prior to the incident and individual had told him he was going to find him and shoot him.

When asked about the drugs found in the home, Pruitt did not admit they were his but responded “What’s the deal with smoking a little?” according to the report.

Pruitt refused to give officers the name of the person he said had shot at him.
