A Gary man is charged with several felonies after hitting his girlfriend over the head with a shotgun after he accused her of cheating, according to court records.

Court records show police surrounded the house, but Joshua Lascola surrendered peacefully a few minutes later.

Lascola, 35, is being held at the Lake County Jail on a $90,000, or $9,000 cash surety bond. A court date is not yet listed.

He is charged with three counts of criminal confinement, three counts of domestic battery, one count of intimidation and two counts of criminal recklessness.

Gary police responded Saturday to the 3500 block of Burr Street in the city’s Black Oak section.

The woman fled to a neighbor’s house and told police that Lascola beat her, held her against her will and would get into a “shootout” with officers. She had a notable cut on her head and bruised arm.

A few minutes after officers set up a perimeter, Lascola came out of the home on the 3600 block of Burr Street and was arrested.

The woman, who had blood on her face, told a witness that Lascola woke her up in the middle of the night and said she was cheating before he attacked her.

“I’m about to kill you,” Lascola told her, according to the witness.

Police learned Lascola took her cellphone and then shot once into the wall. He threatened to kill her family and a man he accused her of seeing.

He would “put a hole in (his) leg,” she later told police.

The woman alleged Lascola was taking “pills,” “ladders” (drugs including Xanax), and “fentanoyl” (sic).

At the jail, cops noted he flooded his cell partly by stuffing clothes into the toilet.
