NEWTON FALLS

Marco Correa, 27, of Cleveland, was arrested early Tuesday at a home on Arhaven Drive in an attack in a Cleveland tavern that blinded a waitress and broke the jaw of an off-duty Cleveland police officer.

The U.S. Marshals Northern Ohio Violent Fugitives Task Force with the assistance of the Trumbull County Sheriff’s Office made the arrest in the 100 block of Arhaven at 12:30 a.m.

Correa is one of five people involved in an attack on four people at Charlie’s Place on Lorain Avenue on July 22.

After Correa was featured as a U.S. Marshals Fugitive of the Week, information was given to the marshals that Correa was staying at the Arhaven address, according to a news release.

Correa was taken into custody and placed in the Trumbull County jail.

Correa, who was wanted on four counts of felonious assault, is accused of being part of a group of people who were asked to leave the bar because it was closing, according to Channel 19 Action News of Cleveland.

The group assaulted the off-duty officer, breaking his jaw, then assaulted others in the bar, leaving two of them unconscious and a waitress blind in one eye.
