A call that brought Akron police to a Chalker Street home last night started with domestic violence charges, but police say they found tools for an illegal fireworks makig operation in the home.

Police say 52 year-old Paul Plazak met officers in the door, let them in the house and after being charged with domestic violence, then his live-in girlfriend, the victim, told officers he was making fireworks in the home.

APD says the officers found a number of items that would be used in fireworks making. The Akron Fire Department and Summit County Bomb Squad had to remove those items from the Chalker Street home.

Plazak had already been charged with domestic violence, for allegedly grabbing the arm of his live-in girlfriend and throwing her against the wall, and trying to choke her.

Police say he threatened to kill her if she called the police. The 911 call was incomplete, but brought officers to the home.

Plazak was booked into the Summit County Jail.
