Brock Andrzejak, Firearms Violations, Ohio 2023

Toledo Man Indicted for Firearms Violations

A 23-year-old Toledo man has been indicted for interference with commerce by threats of violence and brandishing a firearm in relation to a crime of violence. Brock Andrzejak is accused of pointing a rifle at a cashier while robbing the Stop and Go on Bennett Road in Toledo on an unknown date.

Andrzejak is charged with two counts of interference with commerce by threats of violence and brandishing a firearm in relation to a crime of violence. He was not available for comment.

In addition to Andrzejak, seven other individuals from Northwest Ohio were also indicted for various firearms violations or armed robbery charges. These cases are part of a continued collaborative effort to reduce violent crime in the Toledo area.

Among those indicted are people accused of illegally having firearms after domestic violence convictions, making illegal straw purchases of firearms, possessing stolen firearms, armed robbery and other offenses. The individuals indicted include Marco Roane, 35, of Sandusky; Teresa Jackson, 46, of Sandusky; Filmel Williams, Jr., 19, of Toledo; Joseph Mathis, 42, of Toledo; Willie Hall, 31, of Toledo; Marcus Bailey, 34, of Toledo, and James Robert Morgan, 33, of Bryan.

“These cases involve people who are not allowed to have firearms because of past crimes, such as domestic violence, as well as people lying to get guns or obtaining stolen weapons,” said U.S. Attorney Justin E. Herdman. “We will continue to work with police and federal agencies through Project Safe Neighborhoods and the Public Safety Partnership programs to make Toledo and Northwest Ohio safer.”

The cases are part of Project Safe Neighborhoods, a program bringing together all levels of law enforcement and the communities they serve to reduce violent crime and make our neighborhoods safer for everyone. PSN was reinvigorated in 2017 as part of the renewed focus on targeting violent criminals, directing all U.S. Attorney’s Offices to work in partnership with federal, state, local, and tribal law enforcement and the local community to develop effective, locally based strategies to reduce violent crime.

Toledo is also a National Public Safety Partnership city, in which the Justice Department selects cities for increased training and technical assistance focused on violent crime. Toledo, as a PSP city, was also selected last year for more than $492,000 in federal funding to pay for hardware and software designed to improve information-sharing capacity.
