Man accused of egging Ohio home 100-plus times pleads guilty

EUCLID, Ohio – A man accused of pelting the Ohio home of a former neighbour with eggs more than 100 times over a year has pleaded guilty to a charge of inducing panic.

Cuyahoga (ky-uh-HOH’-guh) County court records show 31-year-old Jason Kozan pleaded guilty Thursday to the misdemeanour charge. He was charged in March with vandalizing the home of Albert Clemens Sr. in the Cleveland suburb of Euclid (YOO’-klid). Kozan told WEWS-TV earlier that he wasn’t responsible for egging the house.

Kozan’s attorney didn’t immediately return a call Friday seeking comment.

Authorities haven’t said what motivated the attacks, but they say the eggings largely ceased after Kozan moved out of the neighbourhood.

Clemens said the attacks damaged his home and kept his family on edge.

Kozan’s sentencing is scheduled for Sept. 6.
