Ordered to stay away
BROOKFIELD -- A New Castle man has been ordered to stay away from Oxford Automotive in Masury and its employees.
Judge Ronald Rice of Trumbull County Eastern District Court issued the order Monday against Thomas Mortland, 36, of East Reynolds St. The judge's order doesn't say for how long Mortland must stay away. Mortland is free on $1,000 bond on a charge of aggravated menacing.
Township police said Mortland worked at Oxford and reportedly told some fellow workers last week that he was going to call off work Friday and show up with a gun. Police said they were notified when he reported off Friday. He never went to the plant. They contacted him and he came in to the station. Police don't know exactly why he was unhappy at work.
No date was set for a hearing on the charges.
