Judge denies request

Judge denies request
AKRON -- A judge has again denied Damian Bradford's request to have his cellular telephone records barred from his upcoming trial. U.S. District Judge David Dowd issued a formal order Wednesday. The judge had denied the same request last week, but Bradford's attorneys asked the judge to reconsider it in light of the Wireless Communications Act, which says a person must authorize the release of their telephone records. Judge Dowd said it does not apply in this case. Prosecutors intend to use Bradford's cellular telephone records at trial to show he stalked Dr. Gulam Moonda. They contend the records of May 13, 2005, show Bradford near his Beaver County home, then in Hermitage, Pa., near the Moonda home, and then near the Ohio Turnpike where Moonda was killed.
Public indecency charge
BOARDMAN -- Police arrested a Boardman man after a woman said he left his car at a stop light and stood in front of her car in the nude. Police charged David G. Hughes, 53, with public indecency and possession of drugs. The incident occurred early Tuesday at the intersection of South Avenue and Mathews Road. Hughes' hearing is scheduled today in Mahoning County Court here.
Case goes to grand jury
NILES -- John Holbrook Jr., 22, of South Butler Avenue has been bound over to the Trumbull County grand jury on a charge of aggravated robbery. He waived his preliminary hearing Wednesday before Municipal Judge Thomas W. Townley. Holbrook is accused of using a gun to rob a patron earlier this month outside of Punchaski's, a Pratt Street tavern. He also is charged with felonious assault in the beating of a man last week outside D.J.'s Lounge on Federal Street. Holbrook is in the county jail in lieu of $75,000 bond set by Judge Townley.
