Wallet reported stolen

An employee of the center reported to police Wednesday that the son of the resident had discovered the wallet missing from his father's sock drawer Monday. Because of conditions of the stroke, the resident was unable to give information about the wallet, police reports show.

Accused of steak theft
AUSTINTOWN -- A Youngstown man accused of running from Santisi's IGA on Mahoning Avenue with several stolen steaks under his coat was slated to be arraigned on a theft charge later today.
The man, 32, of Cool Street, was expected to be arraigned in Mahoning County Court here.
The store owner told police he watched the man run out of the store with the steaks at about 7 p.m. Wednesday. When the man tried to get in a car in the store's parking lot, he was pushed out by the driver.
