Man seen carrying gun near Creekside Golf Dome



Police are unsure if the gun was loaded in the bar.
GIRARD -- A Warren man will be arraigned Tuesday in municipal court here after police say he was spotted in the Creekside Golf Dome on U.S. Route 422 carrying a gun.
Benjamin T. March-Natali, 21, of Malibu Drive Southwest, is charged with illegal possession of a weapon in a liquor establishment, a felony.
Police reports say a bartender at the golf dome called police earlier this week and complained about a man in a bar carrying a gun. Reports say March-Natali had left the bar and was in his car when officers arrived.
Officers, reports said, pulled March-Natali over in the business parking lot and found an unloaded gun in a holster tucked in his waistband. Reports say it is unclear if the gun was loaded in the bar.
Reports say March-Natali told officers he had had problems at the bar in the past.
Investigation continues
Meanwhile, police said they are still investigating a beating death in the golf dome's parking lot last month.
Officers were called to the parking lot just before 2:30 a.m. on a Sunday in early November for a fight that had left an unconscious man on the ground. A call was made to the police department saying a man in the parking lot was breathing shallowly.
When officers arrived, they found 36-year-old Kevin Elza of Bristolville lying on the ground covered with blood. Several people were attempting to perform CPR on Elza, reports said.
Elza was taken to St. Elizabeth Health Center, Youngstown, where he was pronounced dead.
Police said the parking lot fight was likely the result of a dispute in the dome's bar.
