Candidate for Mahoning Co. prosecutor to appear at contempt-of-court hearing next week

YOUNGSTOWN — Atty. Martin E. Yavorcik, the independent candidate for Mahoning County prosecutor, has been summoned to a contempt-of-court hearing Wednesday.

Yavorcik has been ordered to appear before Judge Timothy E. Franken of Mahoning County Common Pleas Court at 10 a.m. that day. Judge Franken ordered sheriff’s deputies to personally serve Yavorcik with the order at his downtown law office.

Judge Franken ordered Yavorcik to show cause why he should not be held in contempt of court for failing to appear in court at 10 a.m. last Wednesday for the sentencing of his client.
