WARREN The former Warren police officer who falsely said a black man in a hoodie shot at him will spend the next nine months in the state’s Lorain Correctional Institution.
Noah Linnen, 24, took full responsibility and expressed remorse for his actions on Jan. 13, 2020, and the days that followed, that had police officers from various departments searching for a person who did not exist.
“I had been experiencing a great deal of stress from my personal and professional lives that I clearly could not cope with,” Linnen said. “I thought I could handle everything on my own. I was wrong.”
