Proceedings under way to return Trumbull man to West Virginia for crimes committed there

WARREN — Extradition proceedings have begun to return a Champion man to West Virginia, where he is wanted for two armed robberies and is a suspect in killing one man and wounding another.

“We’re just glad to get him off the streets,” Chief Marshall Goff of the Clarksburg,W.Va., Sheriff’s Office said today.

Roger Dale Grimm, 41, who gave a Mahoning Avenue address, was captured in Champion at Mahoning and state Route 82 on Thursday afternoon.

Chief Deputy Albert Marano of the Harrison County (W.Va.) Sheriff’s Office said today the extradition paperwork is being drawn up by the Harrison County Prosecutor’s Office.

Grimm can either waive extradition or request a hearing to determine if he is the person wanted there.

He is charged with robbing convenience stores in Clarksburg and nearby Salem and wounding a man Thursday within a span of about three hours, Goff said.

The wounded man’s name is not being released.
