Man Arrested For Drug Use At Avon Lake McDonald's

AVON LAKE, OH — A 37-year-old man was arrested for doing drugs at an Avon Lake McDonald's. Police are waiting on lab confirmation to determine what type of narcotics the man had in his possession.

The day before Thanksgiving, at 10:25 a.m., police were called to the Walker Road McDonald's. Officers were asked to check on a man inside the restaurant.

Police records show officers found suspected drugs, drug abuse instruments and drug paraphernalia on the man. There was also an allegedly open container of alcohol in the man's 2017 Mitsubishi Mirage.

The suspected narcotics were sent to the Lorain County drug testing lab for analysis, police said. The man made his first court appearance on Tuesday, where he pleaded not guilty to several misdemeanor charges of possession of drug paraphernalia.

The man's case will move to pre-trial on Jan. 8, 2019, according to the Avon Lake Municipal Court docket.
