Warren police arrest woman accused of desertion
WARREN — A 20-year-old woman picked up by Warren police on a warrant for desertion was turned over to the Navy.
After receiving an anonymous tip Monday, Warren police arrested Kristine Barber, formerly of Austintown, without incident at Yamato’s Restaurant on Youngstown Road S.E., said police Lt. Janice Gilmore.
Gilmore said she had no idea how the tipster knew the Navy had a warrant for Barber’s arrest on a desertion charge.
Naval officials took Barber from the Trumbull County Jail on Wednesday, two days after she was sent there.
