Sentenced for coin thefts
WARREN -- A Youngstown-area man dubbed "the coin burglar" for stealing coins from apartment complex laundries in Youngstown, Liberty, Boardman and Austintown, was sentenced Monday in Trumbull County Common Pleas Court to seven years in prison.
Reginald K. Miliner, 48, who has addresses on Martin Luther King Boulevard and Deer Creek Drive in Austintown, was convicted of burglary in Trumbull County Common Pleas Court.
He had previously pleaded guilty to two counts of burglary in Mahoning County Common Pleas Court, where prosecutors agreed that his two-year prison sentence there would be served at the same time as his Trumbull County sentence.
Youngstown police officials said Miliner admitted having committed at least three thefts.
Child-endangering case
WARREN -- A 23-year-old Warren woman faces multiple child-endangering charges after her two children were found wandering around outside her home.
Sonia Koehn of Fifth Street was arraigned Monday before municipal Judge Terry Ivanchak on two counts of child endangering. She was released after posting a 2,000 surety bond.
Juvenile authorities said a woman called police after she found Koehn's two daughters -- ages 2 and 4 -- walking around on Fifth about 3 a.m. Saturday. The passer-by put the girls in her car until police arrived.
Koehn was arrested when she approached police. She also has a 9-month-old. The children were turned over to Koehn's mother while Trumbull County Children Services conducts an investigation.
Drug conviction upheld
WARREN -- The 11th District Court of Appeals has affirmed the conviction of an Austintown chiropractor sent to prison for writing prescriptions for controlled substances even though he was not authorized to prescribe the drugs.
Charles W. Theisler, 56, appealed the conviction, three-year prison sentence and 200,000 fine he received in 2005 after a jury found him guilty of 15 drug trafficking charges, 35 counts of illegal processing of drug documents, 35 counts of practicing medicine without a certificate and one count of engaging in a pattern of corrupt activity.
Prosecutors said Dr. William E. Masters of Warren wrote thousands of pre-signed prescriptions that Theisler issued to patients for controlled substances. Dr. Masters died last summer before being tried for his part in the scheme, which occurred at Pain Management Associates on East Market Street in Warren.
Delivery person robbed
WARREN -- A pizza delivery person was robbed at knife point outside of apartment building C at 1300 Roberts Ave. N.W. around 11:10 p.m. Sunday after delivering a pizza nearby. The woman, who works for Caesar's Restaurant on West Market Street, said the man took 95 from her, and she lost sight of him as he ran inside of an apartment building. Officers were unable to locate the man.
Investigating fatal crash
NILES -- Police are attempting to determine the cause of a weekend traffic crash in which a 27-year-old Girard man was killed. Traffic Investigator John Marhulik said Dennis Toth of Poplar Avenue was driving his car southeast along Salt Springs Road near Kerr Cemetery about 1:15 a.m. Sunday. The car went off the left side of the roadway.
Marhulik said the vehicle struck two trees and a mailbox. Toth was pronounced dead at the scene.
Sentenced to treatment
WARREN -- A 19-year-old McDonald man has been sentenced to a four- to six-month treatment program at Northeast Ohio Community Alternative Program here after being convicted of unlawful sexual conduct with a minor and four counts of corrupting another with drugs.
Joseph S. Mohn Jr. of Hayes Avenue was indicted on a rape charge, but he later accepted a plea bargain on the lesser charges. He appeared before Judge Peter Kontos of Trumbull County Common Pleas Court.
Mike Burnett, an assistant county prosecutor, said the rape charge stemmed from Mohn's conduct with a 12-year-old female during the summer of 2005 in McDonald. Burnett said the corrupting charges stemmed from Mohn's providing marijuana to four children ages 9 to 13, also in McDonald.
