Man held in robbery
YOUNGSTOWN -- Police charged an 18-year-old Norwood Avenue man with aggravated robbery in a holdup at a Cornersburg drugstore.
Jeffery DeSean Caulton was in the Mahoning County jail late Tuesday.
On Tuesday afternoon, two gunmen wearing black jackets with hoods robbed the Cornersburg Family Discount Drug Store, 3307 Canfield Road, police said. The pharmacist ran to the post office nearby to report the crime, police said.
Officers sent to the area were told to look out for a light-blue Dodge Intrepid that may have traveled north on Schenley Avenue and then east on Kirk Road toward Bears Den Road and the South Side.
Officers were told to look for three men in the car -- the driver and two robbery suspects.
Caulton was the only one charged as of Tuesday evening.
Officer hit by Taser barb
WARREN -- A city policeman was struck in the head over the weekend with a barb from an electronic Taser used to subdue offenders. Patrol Officer Sean Stephens was treated at Forum Health Trumbull Memorial Hospital after being shocked while arresting one of two drunken teenagers.
According to police reports, authorities were called to Youngstown Road and Homewood Avenue about 1:30 a.m. Saturday because of a disturbance. They saw two 14-year-olds -- a boy and girl -- walking away.
The girl was arrested, and the boy attempted to run. He was tackled by Stephens, broke away and was caught again. Police used their batons to subdue him, but the youth continued to fight and attempted to get an officer's baton from him. Sgt. Martin Gargas fired the two-barbed Taser, with one of the barbs striking Stephens in the head and the other hitting the boy.
The boy was charged with unruly curfew, underage consumption of alcohol and resisting arrest. The girl was charged with unruly curfew and underage consumption. Both were released to family members.
