Barbecue goes bad
YOUNGSTOWN -- What began as a peaceful family barbecue at a house in the 500 block of West Warren Avenue Sunday afternoon turned into a large fight that was reported several times to the 911 center, police said.
Quentin Burley, 18, of West Warren was arrested on charges of felonious assault and assault.
When officers arrived, they found 15 people outside, yelling and pushing one another.
Burley is accused of punching his 14-year-old cousin in the head and trying to smash the boy's head onto a porch column. When family members stepped in, Burley smacked his 27-year-old female cousin in the face, they said. She had a bloody lip and cut on her right cheek.
Police said they saw Burley come out of the house with a garden hoe and charge the father of the 14-year-old boy. Police said they used pepper spray on Burley to stop his attack.
Bank account scam
YOUNGSTOWN -- Over the weekend, an 89-year-old Sunshine Avenue woman told police that early in June she received a call from the "Guiding Light Foundation" and the man told her she had won something but he needed her bank account number to confirm the prize.
The woman gave the man her account number and then, later in June, she realized that $299.98 was missing from her account.
The bank investigated and said the check was cashed in Delray Beach, Fla.
