Teen faces charges in drug-related death of Boardman student

BOARDMAN -- Township police arrested a 16-year-old in the February death of a 17-year-old Boardman High School student.
Walter R. Phibbs of Oregon Trail is charged with involuntary manslaughter, trafficking in drugs, corrupting another with drugs and theft in the drug overdose of Paul Graham, found dead in his Glenwood Avenue home.
Phibbs turned himself over to Boardman police Wednesday morning. He is being held in the Mahoning County Juvenile Justice Center in Youngstown.
Graham died in his home Feb. 5 and was found by his father. In early April, the Mahoning County coroner ruled that the death was caused by drug toxicity.
Police found evidence of drugs at Graham's home after his death. Police said they later determined that Phibbs had given Graham morphine pills he had stolen from his mother.
