Elyria Police Raid Results in Hospitalized Toddler, Mayor Orders Review

Family claims police had wrong address, police deny allegations of negligence and exposure to chemical agents.

Elyria, Ohio police conducted a raid on a home, during which a 17-month-old toddler was hospitalized. The toddler, Waylon, was already on a ventilator due to a pre-existing condition and was reportedly affected by the use of flash-bangs during the raid.
The toddler's mother, Courtney Price, and the home's renter, Redia Jennings, claim that the police had the wrong address and that the intended suspect of the raid had not lived there for over a year.
The Elyria Police Department maintains that they had the correct address and that any allegations of the toddler's exposure to chemical agents, negligence, or lack of medical attention are false.
Elyria Mayor Kevin Brubaker has ordered a complete review of the incident and has announced that body-camera footage from the raid will be released.
The toddler has since been released from the hospital but is still recovering. The family is reportedly preparing to leave Elyria, citing safety concerns.
