Water Line Break Suspect Caught On Camera


Early Monday morning a water line break on St. Clair Street shut down traffic as well as the sprinkler system for the Edison Plaza. A surveillance camera on the back of HCR Manor Care has captured the image of the suspect walking away after severing the water line. Toledo Police say the suspect has been identified as 22 year old Michael Way an employee of Mojoe’s.

Mojoe’s, a coffee and sandwich shop located just inside the St. Clair entrance of Edison Plaza serves Seattle’s Best coffee along with assorted sandwiches, soups, snacks and refreshments to Edison Plaza employees

Mr. Way was reportedly upset with Mojoe’s management and attempted to sever the water line in order to shut down the coffee shop for the day. Sources inside Mojoe’s say Mr. Way was fed up with the way owner Ed Beczynski was forcing him to work early hours during the summer months. Mr. Way is quoted as saying:

“ He thinks I am one of those god damn foreigners that he has working over at the Blarney, I’m not from the Russia or wherever that guy with the weird accent is from, I have softball on Sunday nights and he knows that and he still wants me here at 5:00am brewing his damn coffee for him”

Mr. Way was also reportedly upset with the way Blarney employees are treated far better than Mojoe’s. Mr. Way was often heard complaining that Mojoe’s employees were treated like step children in the “Eddie B” corporation.

Mr. Way has still not been located, repeated calls to his West Toledo home have gone unanswered and Toledo Police are still busy answering calls from the weekend to follow up.
