Akron police are investigating the attempted robbery of the CVS store at 235 E. Cuyahoga Falls Ave. about 2 p.m. Friday.

CVS employees said the robber entered the store about 1:30 p.m. and walked around. A store employee thought he looked like a man involved in robberies of stores in Cuyahoga Falls. The employee approached him and asked if he needed any help. The man said, “no,” and left the store.

The man returned to the store a half hour later, this time wearing a white mask. He approached the pharmacy counter, put a black handgun on the counter and demanded Oxymorphone. A worker told the man he recognized him from before and that the police were enroute. The man fled without getting anything.

Police described the man as a white male, 16 to 20 years old, between 5 foot 8 inches and 5 foot 11 inches tall, and weighing 150 to 170 pounds. He has short brown hair and wore a light grey Aeropostale hooded sweatshirt, dark colored sweat pants with a light stripe, and a white mask.

Anyone with information is asked to call the Akron Police Department’s detective bureau at 330-375-2490.

Akron police said they arrested a naked man found beneath his neighbor’s dining room table late Friday night.

Officers found Tracey L. Wooden naked, bleeding and incoherent under the table inside another East Archwood Avenue home.

The homeowner, according to the police report, had called police from inside his home after Wooden, 46, had broken in through a front window.

When police arrived, they said they found a trail of blood from the window along the living room floor to where Wooden was under the dining room table. His erratic behavior was described as “consistent” with drugs.

Police have handled other calls where suspects take off their clothes after ingesting methamphetamine, ecstasy or so-called bath salts.

When attempting to arrest Wooden, police said the man “appeared to show signs of excited delirium” as he kicked officers and refused to come out from beneath the table. Police said they used a stun gun and handcuffed him, but he continued to fight back.

Wooden was treated at a hospital before being booked at the Summit County Jail, where he was awaiting a Tuesday morning arraignment at Akron Municipal Court.

Since 1998, Wooden has been charged or convicted at least 19 times of various counts, including forgery, grand theft, possession of crack and cocaine, passing bad checks, failing to care for an impaired relative and intimidating the victim of a crime.

He also has asked police more than once to investigate missing items at his residences.

Wooden and another man, each wielding either a bat or shovel, reportedly fought outside a convenience store on East South Street in 2013. Wooden, according to police, decided not to press charges against the other man after he was told he too would be arrested, though he was taken to Macedonia on an outstanding warrant.

In February 2014, nearly a year ago to the day, Wooden began a five-month stint in the Summit County jail for reportedly neglecting to care for his father.

Akron police arrested three teens who officers say “challenged” them as a crowd of about 100 was leaving a roller skating rink on the city’s east side Saturday night.

Two 16-year-old boys were arrested on disorderly conduct charges and 18-year-old Eliljah Hawkins was charged with obstructing official business.

A four-page police report says the three teens were among a large crowd exiting the GSFE Cade skating rink at 1615 E. Market St. about 10:30 p.m.

Police say the rink has been the focus of the department’s Neighborhood Response Team because of a series of incidents involving teens fighting, blocking traffic, trespassing, menacing and stealing during the past two to three months. About four officers were assigned to the response detail at the rink. As events escalated, three more cruisers were called to the scene.

Owners of the rink could not be reached for comment Monday.

An estimated crowd of 100 people, mostly teens, were milling outside the rink about 10:30 p.m., when an officer saw one of the 16-year-old boys starting a fight with a younger girl, police said. The officer ordered the boy to leave, but he laughed and refused, police said.

Instead, the boy “puffed out his chest in defiance” and continued to argue with the officer, the report shows. As another officer approached, the boy “squared up” as if to challenge the officers, police said. The officers say they pushed the boy away and then pinned him against a cruiser in an effort to arrest him.

Police say the boy resisted and had to be forced to the ground to be arrested.

The boy, reached by phone Monday, denied fighting the girl. He said he was waiting to be picked up by a family member who was running late. He said he was on the phone when police officers approached him.

“I think it was wrong what the police did,” he said. “They overreacted. I don’t hit girls.”

The teen, who is not being identified because he is a juvenile who has not been charged with a serious crime, was driven home by police and will have the misdemeanor heard later in Summit County Juvenile Court.

Meanwhile, other teens in the crowd were shouting and recording the incident with their phones, police said. An officer said the crowd “began to verbally challenge officers’ authority, yelling at them that they couldn’t do what they were doing.”

Hawkins was being escorted from the area and tried to resist the officer, police said. As he was being arrested, the second 16-year-old boy later arrested emerged from the crowd and challenged officers, police said.

The boy refused to leave and was “squaring up and puffing his chest,” police said. After being pushed away, the boy charged back at the officer and was arrested, police said.

Witnesses say the boy’s leg was injured during the arrest.
