Under house arrest
YOUNGSTOWN
A Mahoning County deputy sheriff is on electronically monitored house arrest after arraignment on a domestic- violence charge, and he remains on paid administrative leave from his job pending an internal-affairs investigation.
Willie Harris, 30, of South Schenley Avenue, a deputy since January 2001, was arrested and jailed after the reported assault Saturday against his wife, Lakleesha.
He was arraigned Wednesday morning before Judge Robert Douglas, and he’s scheduled for a pretrial hearing on the first-degree misdemeanor charge May 12 before Judge Robert Milich.
No virus after all
YOUNGSTOWN
It turns out that Youngstown State University’s computer network wasn’t under attack from a virus or anything else Wednesday.
The problem was caused by an automatic safety update by McAfee anti-virus software that falsely detected a virus, said Ron Cole, YSU spokesman. There were reports of similar events at universities around the country.
Cole said the problem was corrected Wednesday afternoon.
