Paul Pollis skips his day in court

The arrest warrant is the latest in Paul Pollis' legal problems.
WARREN -- An arrest warrant was issued today for Paul Pollis of Warren for failing to appear for sentencing on a charge of failing to obey a city police officer.
Judge Andrew Logan of Trumbull County Common Pleas Court issued the warrant, and withdrew Pollis' 10,000 bond, when neither Pollis nor his attorneys, Thomas and Dan Letson of Warren, appeared for the hearing.
Pollis, 40, of Hoffman Circle, pleaded guilty to the third-degree felony Feb. 5 in a plea agreement, and could have received probation of between one and five years in prison and a 10,000 fine.
Contacted Tuesday, Atty. Dan Letson said he was not aware of the hearing.
The failure-to-obey offense stemmed from an episode Feb. 23, 2006, when police chased Pollis in a vehicle on Market Street near Forum Health Trumbull Memorial Hospital. A Warren police officer identified Pollis as the driver and tried to apprehend him, but the vehicle got away.
It is the latest in Pollis' legal problems.
On probation
Pollis was sentenced to 30 days in Trumbull County jail and placed on five years of intensive supervision probation in March 2006 for showing up at the Howland police chief's house in May 2005 with a handgun between the driver's seat and the console of his car.
Pollis gave the chief a false name, and asked whether Monroe knew where Pollis' first wife was. Pollis had reported Charlotte Nagi-Pollis missing in March 1994. At the time, the couple lived in Girard. Nagi-Pollis has not been found.
More recently, Pollis' wife, Deborah L. Toda, was sentenced to 25 years in prison last week for stealing 1.6 million from the Boardman office of a dialysis clinic. Charges against Pollis were dropped in that case in exchange for his testimony in the case.
