2 arrested in garage break-in



AUSTINTOWN -- Two men are accused by police of breaking into a garage early today on Eigen Street.
Richard Meshula Jr., 32, of Leffingwell Road, Berlin Center, and Anthony McBride of Gadsden, Ala., were arrested and are charged by police with complicity to commit breaking and entering. McBride's age is not given in reports.
Police said they were called to Eigen Street at about 1:30 a.m. after a resident saw a man in a car in his neighbor's garage. The resident told police that when he approached the garage, the man in the car ran. Police said they later found Meshula and McBride ducking down in a car parked nearby on South Four Mile Run Road.
Meshula matched the description of the man seen in the Eigen Street garage, reports state.
Meshula and McBride told police they had run out of gas and were tired. The car, however, had about one-eighth of a tank of gas, police said. Meshula eventually told police that he and McBride had picked up a man in Youngstown, dropped him off near Eigen Street and were waiting for him to return.
He said he did not know the man they had picked up. Police later found the Meshula had been reported missing by his father Tuesday.
