LORAIN — A Lorain mother is under arrest for endangering children after she let three of them drink on Christmas Eve.

Galvan

Stacy Galvan, 32, was arrested and taken to the Lorain city jail, according to a police report.

Police were called to an apartment in the 2500 block of Elyria Ave. about 9 p.m. for a report of intoxicated juveniles that were out of control. They found Galvan and two of the children arguing.

Galvan told officers that she was intoxicated and had let her children drink and they had gotten out of control, the report said. Two of the children were 12 years old and one was 13, according to police. Two are Galvan’s children and the third is another relative.

Galvan continued to tell police that she can no longer handle her children, she does not want them, and the the reason she is an alcoholic is because she can no longer handle her children, the report said.

While speaking with Galvan, officers heard cries from another room and found the third child lying in a pile of vomit and fading in and out of consciousness due to his intoxication, the report said.

That child was transported to the hospital to be treated for alcohol poisoning, the report said. His condition was not immediately available.

Galvan’s children told police they each tried only one drink but did not care for it. They said the other child continued to drink with Galvan.

According to the report, Galvan was so intoxicated that she vomited in the back of a police car and later urinated in the jail booking area, according to a police report.

The other two children were released to the custody of their grandmother. The report was forwarded to Lorain County Children Services.

CARLISLE TWP. — A teenager who was hit by a snowplow while he was shoveling his driveway Monday is in slightly worse shape this morning.

MetroHeath Medical Center in Cleveland reports he is now listed in fair condition. He was listed in good condition yesterday morning.

A spokeswoman said she is hopeful he can overcome this “setback.”

According to the State Highway Patrol, Jason White, 18, was hit about 9:45 Monday morning near the intersection of Butternut Ridge and Indian Hollow roads in Carlisle Township.

He was struck by a snowplow owned by a private company, Plas Plowing, the State Highway Patrol said. First responders reported White had facial injuries.

First responders requested a LifeFlight helicopter, but weather prevented the helicopters from flying. A LifeCare ambulance requested and received approval to drive White directly to MetroHealth.

LORAIN — A Lorain man was shot in the foot overnight in Central Lorain, and police have conducted gunshot-residue tests on that man and two other individuals.

Police received a call about 1 a.m. of shots fired and people running in the area of Reid Avenue and West 27th Street.

Police arrived to find an abandoned silver Chevrolet HHR left sideways in the roadway. Neighbors reported that two males had run north through backyards. Within minutes, police received a call from an off-duty police officer reporting that he had detained two males behind a Lexington Avenue home.

Police found the vehicle had the passenger-side window broken out and several gunshot holes in its side.

The pair, two Lorain men, ages 38 and 32, told police they were passengers in the vehicle, which was driven by someone named “J” or “JD.” They said J stopped to speak to individuals driving a black SUV, but four men exited that vehicle with guns and began firing at them. They said they exited the vehicle and fled on foot. They said they didn’t know where J went.

As the pair was being interviewed, another officer stopped a car at West 21st Street near Lorain Drive and discovered a shooting victim, Randy Glover, 19, of Lorain. Officers conducted a followup interview with Glover at Mercy hospital.

He told them he was a passenger in a black Oldsmobile Bravado when the vehicle was cut off by the HHR. He said two males exited that vehicle and he fled because he “knew they were going to start shooting.” He was shot in the foot by one of the men from the HHR, he said, as he attempted to flee.

Glover said he then hopped back from the vehicle and asked his friend to drive him to the hospital. As they fled, he said the driver hit a curb and lost a tire, so the pair abandoned the vehicle and fled. He said he then called his mother for a ride to the hospital.

Officers found four spent 9 mm casings and two spent projectiles in the roadway and two spent projectiles in the HHR.

The Oldsmobile Bravado was located on West 27th Street, and both vehicles were towed from the scene to be inventoried.

A review of on-board camera footage from a police cruiser at the scene revealed an audio conversation between the first two males discussing making up a name for the driver of the car they’d been in, according to the report.

“I’ll say ‘J,’ and you tell them ‘JD’ was driving,” the report quotes them as saying.

Gunshot residue tests were performed on all three men.

Police never located the alleged drivers of either vehicle.
