Cuyahoga County program guides those with mental health, News 5 Cleveland
CLEVELAND — Finding yourself caught up in the criminal justice system can be daunting enough for anyone, but for someone with a developmental disability, it can be truly overwhelming. Stefawn Norman of Cleveland knows that all too well.
“I was having a bad day that day,” said Norman of the day when a run-in with police landed him on the other side of the law, charged with obstruction.
He knew things had to change.
“Basically, because I was getting into things I shouldn't be getting into.”
The fortunate thing for him was that his offense occurred in Cuyahoga County.
