Suspect, Cleveland police officer involved in deadly Tremont crash had crossed ... - cleveland.com
CLEVELAND, Ohio -- The man killed Thursday in a collision with an undercover Cleveland police detective had at least one run-in with the same detective in a West Side drug-dealing career that spanned his entire adult life, according to court... Terelle Lashawn Wagner, 27, racked up eight felony convictions in nine years before his gold Nissan Maxima struck a minivan driven by vice detective Kevin Fairchild in a lunchtime pursuit in the Tremont neighborhood. Wagner, a Garfield Heights man known on the streets as "Hell Rell," pleaded guilty to drug trafficking charges four times in a five-year span stemming from investigations on the city's West Side. Wagner spent 10 months in jail as his case proceeded, and eventually pleaded no contest to weapons charges. He was sentenced to one year probation August 2014. He violated that probation less than three months later, and was arrested April 1 and eventually sentenced to 11 months in Cuyahoga County Jail. The case was one in a string of drug-related convictions in which Wagner pleaded guilty and avoided substantial jail time, court records show. He pleaded guilty to receiving stolen property, and was sentenced to two years probation in May of that year. Source: www.cleveland.com
