Early on Monday assault and robbery at the Willowick Towers apartment complex culminated in the arrest of a 46-year-old man, identified as Terrence Michael Gardner. According to a news release from the Willowick Police Department, police responded to a call at 3 a.m. at the complex located at 31900 North Marginal Road. Upon arrival, they discovered an injured individual who reported being attacked and robbed of their firearm by Gardner, who then fled the scene, as originally reported by Cleveland.com.
The investigation led Willowick Police to swiftly obtain probable cause warrants for Gardner's arrest via the Willoughby Municipal Court. Accusations leveled against him include charges of aggravated robbery, aggravated assault, and aggravated menacing, as stated in an article by WKYC. These serious charges reflect the gravity of a suddenly violent encounter ending in the alleged theft of a weapon.
Despite Gardner's plea of not guilty to the aforementioned charges, he has been denied bond as per the recent hearing. Consequently, Gardner remains in custody at the Lake County Jail, where he will stay pending his court appearance and potentially beyond that point, according to information obtained by Cleveland19.
