Youngstown man faces charges for having reported stolen vehicle in his possession

YOUNGSTOWN — A Youngstown man will face charges after police “discovered” a reportedly stolen van in his possession.

According to police reports, officers ran the plates on a Chevrolet Suburban left parked on Osborn Avenue on the West Side early today. The plate came back to a stolen vehicle and officers began to tow it.

After the vehicle had been hitched to a tow truck, reports say, Devin Marcus Teague, 18, of Osborn came up to officers and said, “Oh man you’re towing my ride ... Can I get my birth certificate and clothes out of it first?”

Reports say Teague told officers a friend of his known only as Brian gave him the vehicle free of charge. Police found Teague’s personal papers and clothes inside the truck.
