Austintown man indicted in fatal crash



A Youngstown man is alleged to have made a death threat against a common pleas court judge.
YOUNGSTOWN -- An Austintown man accused of providing alcohol to his girlfriend who died in a car crash that same evening and a city man accused of threatening a judge are among those indicted by a Mahoning County grand jury.
Grand jurors on Thursday indicted Michael R. Kakavros, 20, of Penny Lane, with one count each of involuntary manslaughter and illegal possession of a weapon.
Kakavros is charged in the Jan. 20 death of Tricia Lenio, 18, who died in a one-car crash on Kirk Road. She was driving to her Canfield home from Kakavros' home when she crashed.
The two were dating..
Police have said that speed and alcohol played a role in the crash. Kakavros is accused of providing the teen with alcohol.
The weapons charge, unrelated to the accident, stems from a prohibition against his possessing weapons because of a 2005 drug trafficking conviction.
Police found a gun at his house during an investigation.
Richard Clark Jr., 19, of Sheridan Road, Youngstown, was indicted on a retaliation charge in a direct presentment to the grand jury.
He is accused of uttering a death threat against Judge R. Scott Krichbaum of Mahoning County Common Pleas Court.
Authorities have said that as Clark left the Mahoning County Courthouse last month, he told deputies that his aunt had been arrested and that he was going to kill the judge.
Clark had been at the courthouse for resentencing of his uncle, and a family member who made a disturbance during the proceeding was held in contempt of court.
