More information, rather peculiar. Drugs involved?

New details are emerging about the man police say shot and killed an intruder in his North Toledo home Saturday night.

Chris Childress, 21, was fatally shot after breaking into the home of Sedric Joplin at 811 Galena St. around 8:00 p.m. Saturday. Police say when they arrived on scene they found Childress laying unresponsive in the street at the corner of Michigan and Galena. They say he and at least one other suspect broke into Joplin’s home through an unlocked side window.

A neighbor told police he was looking down from his balcony at the home in question when he heard gun shots and saw a suspect, Michael Lee Brown, Jr., jump out of the window and flee the scene along with at least one other suspect. Minutes later, Childress was found by police. He was later pronounced dead at Mercy St. Vincent’s Medical Center.

Brown was located and taken to an area hospital. His condition is unknown at this time.

Joplin’s neighbors tell NBC24 that the man who allegedly shot his intruders is a correctional officer at a nearby prison facility. They also say that Joplin, 40, has been known to have a marijuana-cultivation operation inside his home.

Police were at the home through the weekend, where neighbors say they observed DEA investigators removing bags of evidence from the home.

“Joplin, 40, has been known to have a marijuana-cultivation operation inside his home”

Colorado legalized marijuana clinics. Many of them got robbed as they were in private homes.

Ads like this abound:
