Breaking glass nets arrests in Geneva MARGIE TRAX PAGE Star Beacon GENEVA - - The sound of shattering glass had one Geneva resident calling for police Sunday afternoon.
The resident heard glass breaking in an abandoned lot used to store older cars, but police found more than just glass shards at the scene and arrested a Painesville man for drug abuse, police reports show. "The complainant did what we asked residents to do: He heard something suspicious and called police immediately," Geneva Police Chief Dan Dudik said. The officers found Jonathan Pasko, 18, of Painesville and two juveniles walking near the abandoned lot on South Eagle Street and stopped them for questioning, police said. After some reluctance, the juveniles admitted to throwing cinder blocks around a vacant construction trailer on the property. Officers noticed cinder blocks and a car battery had been thrown through the windshield of an older Chevrolet Cavalier, reports show. One of the juveniles admitted to throwing the cinder block through the windshield, but said the car was already damaged by the car battery, police said. Officers cited the three for misdemeanor counts of criminal trespassing and criminal damaging and patted the suspects down. During the search the officers found several 10 milligram pills of the drug Methylin, which is also known as Ritalin, in a plastic bag in Pasko's pocket, police reports show. The controlled substance Methylin is a prescription stimulant used to treat attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). The drug produces a calming effect in ADHD patients, but is abused as a stimulant, according to the American Drug Association. Pasko doesn't have a prescription for the pills and he told officers he got the drug from his nephew, who has ADHD, police said. Pasko may face charges of fifth degree felony drug abuse in addition to the misdemeanor counts of criminal damaging and criminal trespassing, police reports show. - - MARGIE TRAX PAGE - Staff Writer Star Beacon Print Edition: 5/1/2007Click here to order our 5/1/2007 Archive edition.
