Video of Illegal Being Arrested After Violent Altercation with Ashland County Deputies
ASHLAND COUNTY, OH – According to authorities, an illegal, Edwin Lozzano, 32, from Columbus was involved in a crash near Pleasant Hill Lake after allegedly driving a red vehicle through a gate at Camp Nuhop, an outdoor education facility. Deputies responded to an iPhone crash detection alert at approximately 8:52 p.m. and arrived to find that multiple individuals had fled the scene in another car, which unfolded on the night of March 4, 2025
At 9:07 p.m., deputies conducted a traffic stop on a black Toyota suspected to be the getaway vehicle. During the stop, Lozzano repeatedly provided false information to officers and had an interpreter on the phone translating for him. When deputies attempted to detain him, Lozzano resisted, escalating the situation into a physical confrontation.
Bodycam footage released by the Ashland County Sheriff’s Office following a Freedom of Information Request (FOIR) captures the chaotic moments of the arrest. In the video, a deputy can be heard instructing the interpreter to inform Lozzano that he was being detained. However, Lozzano refused to comply, instead arguing with the officer and attempting to involve others in the vehicle. As the deputy moved to place him in handcuffs, Lozzano lashed out, initiating a violent struggle.
The situation intensified, requiring backup from additional officers, including from the Richland County Sheriff’s Office, MWCD Rangers, Loudonville Police Department Officers. Even after being restrained in handcuffs, Lozzano continued to resist and fight with law enforcement.
Following his arrest, Lozzano was charged with resisting arrest and obstructing official business. He appeared before Ashland Municipal Court Judge John L. Good on March 5, 2025 (Case #25CRB00160), where his bond was set at $7,500 for each charge, with no 10% option permitted.
However, Lozzano’s legal troubles deepened the next day when U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) took custody of him. Sheriff Kurt Schneider confirmed the transfer but stated that Lozzano’s final destination remains uncertain.
“My message to criminals is simple: If you didn’t get the memo, here it is—don’t come to Ashland County and commit crimes. Said, Ashland County Sheriff Kurt Schneider, Our deputies did an outstanding job taking the necessary steps to identify these individuals and hold them accountable to the law. Both individuals are in the United States illegally, and they committed Ohio Revised Code offenses. Whether you’re here legally or not, or you’re a citizen of this great nation—if you commit a crime in Ashland County, you’re going to jail.”
