CLEVELAND, Ohio -- A Cleveland Heights man is accused of ramming a car and firing shots at a man who offered to drive a woman home after an argument at a Cleveland strip club.
Juan Davis, 30, followed a car from the Peek-a-Boo Club in Cleveland’s Clark-Fulton neighborhood to the city’s West Side. He fired two or three shots at the car before he rammed it near Cleveland’s First District police station, according to court records.
Davis is charged with felonious assault in the Nov. 12 incident. He is not in custody but a warrant was issued Tuesday for his arrest.
A 55-year-old man employee at the club told police that he saw a man mistreating a woman. The man took the woman’s cellphone and left the club, according to a police report. Police reports and court records do not say if Davis was the man who argued with the woman.
The club worker offered the woman a ride home, and she accepted. He was driving on Cleveland’s West Side when he noticed someone was following him in a white sedan.
The man pulled into the Cleveland police department’s First District station on West 130th Street, but the woman refused to go inside because she had a warrant out for her arrest, the police report says.
He pulled out of the First District parking lot just before Davis fired two to three shots toward the Buick, court records say. Davis then sped up and rammed the back of the car, court records say.
The woman jumped out of the car after Davis. The man did not see where she went, but he believed she got into the sedan before it sped away, the police report says.
The 55-year-old man was not harmed in the incident.
The man identified Davis as a suspect through a photo lineup, according to court records.
Davis’ criminal history includes prior convictions for attempted felonious assault and gun-related offenses, according to Cuyahoga County court records.
