Thursday, January 24, 2008

YOUNGSTOWN — The Mahoning County grand jury has indicted a South Side man, who was arrested last month after a police pursuit of the stolen car he was driving.

Larry T. Burgess, 19, of Pinehurst Avenue, was indicted Thursday on two counts of aggravated robbery with firearm specifications and one count of receiving stolen property.

The charges are in connection with the armed robbery of a man and a woman in the 100 block of Lowell Avenue, which allegedly occurred Dec. 22 — the day he was arrested. The car was stolen in Kent, police said.

Burgess, who was also charged with a parole violation, was arrested in the 400 block of West Princeton Avenue after he exited the car and ran, police said.
