Official records fill in blanks on Ohio school shooting suspect T.J. Lane, family
By Rachel Dissell, The Plain Dealer
CHARDON, Ohio -- On Monday, T.J. Lane peacefully surrendered to a Geauga County sheriff's deputy after running from Chardon High School, where authorities say he shot five students about an hour earlier.
The deputy most likely knew the 17-year-old and his family.
Deputies had been to the teen's home on Wilson Mills Road in Munson Township plenty of times in the past two years.
For the most part, they weren't there for any trouble T.J. Lane caused.
T.J. Lane, older brother Adam and a sister had lived with their grandparents, Jack Nolan, 81, and his wife, Carole, 70, since childhood. Court records indicate the grandparents had custody of them. Neighbors said the grandparents appeared to be doing an admirable job raising their grandchildren.
Deputies often went to help the family deal with strife caused by the older brother's drug addiction -- which records show the family seemed desperately trying to handle.
Adam Nolan, 19, was arrested multiple times for disorderly conduct and other crimes connected to his abuse of prescriptions drugs and heroin, according to records. He also overdosed on drugs several times.
The family told police they were trying to get him treatment, and at one point a court ordered him to get help, records show.
Many reports show the children's mother, Sarah Nolan, 39, was present in their lives. Their mother, who at times struggled with alcohol abuse (as i read that i thought about what you said Cracker), also lived on and off with her parents and her children in the Munson Township home.
T.J. Lane's father, Thomas Michael Lane Jr., 40, appears to have been involved with the boys as well, according to a police report of a March 12, 2011, incident. The father was there that day when the family attempted to prevent Adam Nolan from trying to leave the house while high on drugs. He also was verbally abusing his grandparents.
Thomas Lane and Sarah Nolan never married.
According to a Dec. 9, 2009 report, T.J. Lane and his brother got into a physical fight with an uncle, who came to the house to help with the boys, then 15 and 16.
T.J. Lane told police he only got involved in the fight because he thought his brother was being hurt. The uncle asked that T.J. Lane be charged.
Lane admitted to disorderly conduct and was ordered to do 24 hours of community service. The judge told him that he would serve time in the detention center if he got in trouble again.
The only other time T.J. Lane had an encounter with Geauga deputies was in November 2011, when he got a traffic ticket that landed him in traffic school.
