TRUMBULL COUNTY Youngstown man faces charges of assault, child endangerment

LIBERTY -- A Youngstown man has been charged with assault, child endangerment and resisting arrest after three area police departments stopped him over the weekend.
Christoper Tyrone Crawford, 30, of Hubbard Road, is in Trumbull County Jail, where he was taken after his arrest at 11:30 p.m. Saturday.
According to Liberty police records, officers were called about a man in a blue 1986 Chevrolet truck who was traveling south on Warner Road with an infant in the passenger seat.
The caller said the man had threatened to kill his wife and his child and was not supposed to have taken the child with him.
The suspect drove through a stop-strips barrier erected by Hubbard Township police and attempted to keep going on four flat tires, but stopped at Warner and Logan roads.
He got out of his car and reached into his pocket as if he had a gun, according to the report. Another man, identified as the suspect's father, William Crawford, pulled up in another vehicle at the same time.
After a brief struggle in which he tore an officer's uniform, Brookfield police arrested the younger Crawford.
Crawford, who also faces DUI charges, has court dates of Dec. 28 in Trumbull County Court in Brookfield and Dec. 29 in Girard Municipal Court.
