[Excerpts] Former Lorain police Officer Corey Earl pleaded no contest Thursday to a misdemeanor charge of telephone harassment for a series of harassing phone calls he made to his ex-wife.

He said the charges stemmed from a disagreement between Earl and his ex-wife about visitation over the Christmas holidays, when Earl left a series of messages on his wife’s voicemail complaining about the situation. “He got a little carried away,” Wightman said. This isn’t the first time Earl’s ex-wife has brought legal action against him...

Police investigated, but he wasn’t charged. Earl also had a series of disciplinary problems... including threatening to beat a county corrections officer with a baseball bat, pulling over the ex-husband of a woman he was dating and writing a joke traffic ticket...
