Man sought in abduction, assault and Dollar General robbery arrested

A man who is a suspect in both an Elyria robbery yesterday and an assault and abduction in Lorain was arrested this morning in Oberlin.

Mitcheal J. Orr II, 30, was picked up by the Elyria Police Department’s Neighborhood Impact Unit and U.S. Marshals at his father’s home, in the 14900 block of Baird Road, about 10 a.m. Orr was arrested without incident, according to Tony Keffer, U.S. Marshals Service task force coordinator for Lorain County.

Orr is suspected of beating and kidnapping the mother of his child Tuesday morning on Oak Point Road, according to Lorain police Lt. Roger Watkins. Watkins said Orr stole the white Kia the woman was driving.

The woman was not seriously injured, and Lorain police said the assault happened about 8:15 a.m.

Orr, whose last known address was the 200 block of Park Meadow Drive in Elyria, has a criminal record that includes convictions for domestic violence and theft.

He is suspected of robbing an Elyria Dollar General following that incident.

The store robber was described as a white male in a green short-sleeved shirt, according to an Elyria police report. An employee told police the man approached the register in the store, 622 Leona St., at about 9 a.m. with something silver in his hand, which looked “almost like a stun gun with grips,” according to the report.

The man demanded money and can be seen in surveillance footage pulling bills from the register, then lifting the cash drawer. The man left in a small vehicle, which went south on Leona Street, the report said.

The vehicle was found abandoned by Elyria police in the Foxes Lair apartment complex at 2280 West River Road about 6:15 p.m. Tuesday.
