Two indicted and jailed in Masury teen’s shooting death

GIRARD — Two Masury residents are jailed on charges tied to the shooting death of a 15-year-old boy.

Karen Adams and Paul Sundy Jr., both of Stateline Road, were taken into police custody Thursday at the Girard Municipal Court.

They had been secretly indicted by a Trumbull County grand jury. The two are being investigated in the death of Robert Flynn, also of Masury.

Detective Mike Begeot of the Hubbard Township Police Department said Adams is charged with one count of murder with a gun specification; three counts of felonious assault; and one felony count of tampering with evidence.

Sundy Jr. is charged with one count of tampering with evidence and one count of obstructing justice — both felonies.

Begeot said the two will be arraigned at 9:30 a.m. today in Trumbull County Common Pleas Court, Warren.

Adams was in the municipal court on a third-degree felony charge of tampering with evidence. Judge Michael Bernard was to conduct a preliminary hearing Thursday afternoon. But Begeot and Girard police then informed Adams and Sundy Jr. they were being arrested.

Both Adams and Sundy Jr. were handcuffed and escorted to vehicles outside the municipal building. Adams was placed in an unmarked Mercury Grand Marquis and Sundy Jr. was placed in a Girard police cruiser. Both were taken to the Trumbull County jail.

The indictment came as a surprise to both Adams and Sundy Jr., who offered no comment.
