Elyria man charged with domestic violence, intimidation

A 57-year-old Elyria man, who also has a Florida address, is facing charges after he allegedly threatened a victim in a case in which he was charged with several felonies during a domestic dispute on Christmas.

Vincent E. Glynn is facing charges of abduction, a third-degree felony; strangulation, a fourth-degree felony; disrupting public service, a fourth-degree felony; domestic violence, a first-degree misdemeanor; and aggravated menacing, a first-degree misdemeanor, in Oberlin Municipal Court, according to court records.

In Elyria Municipal Court, Glynn was charged with intimidation, a third-degree felony, according to court records.

At 11:17 p.m., Dec. 25, Lorain County sheriff’s deputies were sent to JC Huffman Inn and Motor Lodge, at 44077 Oberlin-Elyria Road in New Russia Township, for a domestic violence incident, according to a Lorain County Sheriff’s Office report.

Glynn and a woman had an argument regarding a conversation between the woman and her daughter while the couple was visiting family in the area, she told deputies.

The woman also told deputies that Glynn had had several alcoholic beverages before the two argued on the way back to the hotel, and that Glynn became violent in the vehicle, yelling and threatened to beat her, the report stated.

When they arrived at the motel, Glynn got out of the vehicle and the woman “locked the vehicle doors to stay separated from him,” the report stated.

Glynn began punching the window, kicking the car and jumping on the hood.

The woman told deputies she “attempted to plead and reason with Vincent to stop, at which time he told her to get out of the vehicle and he wouldn’t hurt her,” the report stated.

However, as she began to get out of the vehicle Glynn pulled her out, dragged her into their motel room where he kicked and punched her in her face, the report stated.

The woman said she was screaming for help and attempted to call 911 on the motel phone when Glynn took the phone and struck her with it, the report stated.

The woman attempted to call 911 with Glynn’s cell phone.

The woman told the deputies she doesn’t have a cell phone due to Glynn breaking it during a prior domestic violence incident in Florida where it is alleged that he assaulted, strangled and attempted to stab her.

Deputies noted in the report that Glynn had an active warrant out of Florida for strangulation and domestic battery.

LifeCare Ambulance paramedics transported the woman to University Hospitals Elyria Medical Center.

Glynn left the area in the woman’s 2009 Subaru Tribeca which contained her belongings.

Deputies searched for Glynn but were unsuccessful in locating him until Dec. 30 when he was apprehended at Homewood Suites, the report stated.

While in Lorain County Jail, Glynn allegedly contacted the victim.

During the phone call, Glynn is heard yelling at the victim for speaking to deputies and making statements such as, “I threatened to kill you, you said you never told,” the report stated.

Glynn also was recorded on another phone call to a family member instructing her to reach out to the victim to persuade her not to appear at the court hearing.

On Dec. 31, Glynn again called the same family member and instructed her to remove the license plate from the victim’s vehicle so that she would be forced to “drive it without any plate and get stopped by the police,” the report stated.

Glynn remains in the Lorain County Jail on a $275,000 bond, records show.

Each of the charges against Glynn have been bound over by Oberlin and Elyria Municipal courts.

Further court hearings have not yet been scheduled.
