A Summit County SWAT officer will never take his equipment for granted.
Gunfire struck his helmet during a series of drug-house raids Tuesday morning in Akron and Canton, but he escaped injury.
The incident occurred about 6 a.m. inside an Allyn Street house in Akron. Summit County SWAT members were there serving an arrest warrant and were targeted by the suspect’s father, who fired a .357-caliber pistol, authorities said.
Officers returned fire, but no one was injured. A second shot was fired at another SWAT officer, but he was not harmed.
John K. Wright, 55, of Allyn Street, was arrested on charges of felonious assault against a peace officer. Officials say he fired at least two shots at SWAT officers, who in return fired two or three rounds.
The SWAT officer was struck in the forehead area of his helmet, just inches from his exposed head.
Sheriff’s Inspector Bill Holland called the SWAT officer lucky to walk away unharmed.
“This incident illustrates just how dangerous this job can be for agents, officers and deputies that fight these drug organizations on a daily basis,” Holland said.
The shooting also put an exclamation point on the massive yearlong drug investigation that culminated with indictments against 11 men in Akron, Canton, Missouri and California. All but one suspect has been arrested.
Local and federal authorities say the group was involved in a large-scale cocaine and marijuana trafficking scheme that had the drugs being shipped from California to Ohio. In some instances, cocaine was packed inside vehicle engine blocks and shipped across country to two local shops. Later, cash was wrapped and shipped inside the blocks and returned to the supplier.
Federal authorities say at least 220 pounds of cocaine were shipped between Ohio and California during nine transactions that took place between mid-2011 and this year.
So far, authorities have seized $100,000, 10 vehicles, 10 firearms, 10 pounds of marijuana and various records.
The investigation involved Akron police, the Summit County Sheriff’s Office, U.S. Marshals, the FBI, Drug Enforcement Administration and Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, along with federal and
