Man Found Unconscious, Eventually Arrested for Marijuana Trafficking

An early morning incident that appeared to be an assault earlier this month has led to a drug trafficking arrest in Mentor.

The US Marshal’s Violent Fugitive Task Force arrested Mentor resident Michael Figoli Tuesday on behalf of the Mentor Police Department, which had issued a warrant for his arrest for marijuana trafficking and possession of criminal tools.

According to the department's Facebook page, police first learned about Figoli around 4 a.m. on April 10 when one of his neighbors called police after hearing screams coming from his home. Blood was also found in the residence.

Along with Willoughby Police, Mentor officers forced entry into the home at 6215 Iroquois Trail, near the border of the two cities. The officers found both Figoli and an adult female unconscious.

They also found a "large" amount of marijuana and evidence that trafficking had been conducted at the house. However, at the time, it appeared that the duo had been assaulted and they were transported to a nearby hospital.

Figoli and the woman told police they did not want the assault to be investigated.
