ELYRIA — An Elyria man was arrested for obstructing official business and possession of drugs and drug paraphernalia, according to an Elyria police report.

Michael Crawford, 34, was being held Monday in the Lorain County Jail.

According to the report, officers were called to 835 Broad St. after two white men were seen with guns.

An officer arrived to find one of the men walking north on Water Street. As soon as the officer yelled for the man to stop, he began to run, police said.

The man ran face-first into a tree and was apprehended by police, the report said. He told officers he ran because he had needles in his pockets.

He told police his name was Josh Sumen, but his ID in his pocket said he was Michael Crawford, the report said. When police asked him if he was Michael Crawford, he said he was.

Police ran his name and found out he had an active warrant through the Lorain County Sheriff’s Office, the report said. Officers searched him and found suspected crack cocaine, a chrome pipe and a small baggie of marijuana, the report said. They also located half a pill of OxyContin that was not prescribed to him.

Officers contacted the real Josh Sumen, who was the owner of the vehicle Crawford was found with, the report said. Sumen said he had picked Crawford up in Olmsted Township and had no weapon.

An officer’s Oakley sunglasses, valued at about $75, were damaged during the foot pursuit, the report said.
