Steven Napp, 31, is charged with burglary and possession of drug paraphernalia.
Police were called to a home at 107 Floral Court about 8:30 a.m., according to a police report.
The resident of the home told them she’d fired on a man who was breaking into her house but did not hit him.
A witness told police he recognized Napp as the boyfriend of a woman who lives at 111 Floral Court, the report said. He said he heard Napp yelling “Oh my god!” and running south toward Lake Avenue.
He said Napp had no shirt or shoes on and was wearing blue jeans. He said he then saw Napp running east on Lake Avenue toward Furnace Street.
By the time officers arrived, they learned that U.S. Marshals had stopped Napp at Lake Avenue and Cascade Street.
Once Elyria police took custody of Napp, they found a used syringe in his pocket. He told them he’d used the syringe the day before for heroin, the report said.
Napp was taken to the Lorain County Jail.
