Elyria Police Department officials arrested as many as seven suspects on May 6, after witnessing Brandon Sherrill run into a home on Kenyon Avenue.
Sherrill had an outstanding warrant in his name, prompting officers to enter the home and inspect the property.

Two other suspects were arrested for drug offenses: Ean King and Michael Major. King has been charged with possession of fentanyl and methamphetamine, while Major was charged with possession of methamphetamine and drug paraphernalia.

As officers searched the house, the suspects’ unusual hiding places were gradually revealed: Smith was found hiding under blankets in the basement and Price hiding in the attic. Sherill was found hidden under the basement stairs.
