Police identify man dragged by car

YOUNGSTOWN — City police have identified the man dragged through a fast-food drive-through and along two city blocks early Saturday, and impounded the car they believe was involved.

The Mahoning County Coroner’s office identified the victim as Andrew Culp, 22, of North Main St., Columbiana.

Culp’s body was sent to Cleveland for an autopsy to determine if he died as a result of being dragged or was killed in some other manner. It may be weeks before the exact cause of death is known, said police Capt. Kenneth Centorame, chief of detectives.

Centorame said police know the name of the owner of the car involved, who, accompanied by an attorney, turned himself in to police Monday. Centorame would not identify the owner, nor say if he was the driver.

The car was towed from a residential area in Boardman and impounded. Evidence from the car was collected and sent to the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Identification and Investigation for analysis, he said.
