Akron police are seeking a former worker at a car dealership whom they say fired a gun at his former place of employment.
Jeremiah N. Rowe, 29, of West Thornton Street, faces charges of improperly discharging a firearm, weapons under disability and aggravated menacing.
Authorities say that shortly after 3 p.m. Saturday the owner of Premier Auto Sales, 1155 S. Arlington St., called police to report that Rowe “drove onto the car lot and fired shots at the building.”
The owner told police “Rowe was upset for being fired the week prior and because the owner didn’t lie to his caseworker about his employment.”
Anyone with information on Rowe’s whereabouts is encouraged to contact Akron detectives at 330-375-2490, the U.S. Marshals Service at 1-866-4-WANTED or Summit County Crimestoppers, Inc., at 330-434-COPS. Callers can remain anonymous.
