Officer struggles with scofflaws

YOUNGSTOWN — Police are still looking for the man who tussled with a city police officer in a grocery store over the weekend.

According to police, an officer Lewis asked a man to leave the Save-A-Lot store on South Avenue Sunday afternoon because he was not wearing a shirt, a violation of the store’s policy. The man tried to hit the officer in the face and a struggle ensued.

Reports say someone grabbed the officer from behind as he struggled with the shirtless man. Lewis then sprayed pepper spray in the area of the struggle. The men ran out of the store.
