Hot line to end Sunday

Hot line to end Sunday

COLUMBUS — The Ohio State Highway Patrol will be discontinuing its (888) 2-OH-ROAD weather/road condition hot line starting March 1 due to the lengthy update process for dispatchers and the lack of use by the public. The discontinuance of this service will also result in cost savings.

Motorists are urged to instead use the Ohio Department of Transportation’s Web site www.BuckeyeTraffic.org, or call (877) 7PATROL or contact their local post directly to get updates on traffic/road conditions. A listing of contact information for each post is available at www.statepatrol.ohio.gov/counties.html.

Man escorted from center

YOUNGSTOWN — A 31-year-old Boardman man was escorted out of the Chevrolet Centre by police at 12:01 a.m. Sunday and issued a citation that charges him with disorderly conduct.

Police said they were alerted to Jonathan O. Drake of North Cadillac Drive by a security officer. Police described Drake as disruptive, loud and refusing to comply with a security officer who asked him to leave. Those seated around Drake complained about his aggressive behavior.

He slapped a security officer in the throat but the officer did not wish to press charges. He was given his citation and released to a friend.

Police investigate assaults
