Austintown
Police say a man questioned about a sex crime, alleged by a 15-year-old boy, apparently killed himself Tuesday night.
Detective Sgt. Ray Holmes said he’d questioned Keith A. Leonard, 51, that day about a sex offense alleged in mid-July. Holmes wouldn’t comment on that case, other than to say it is now closed.

Leonard was an employee at Farmers National Bank in Austintown and a member of the Austintown Kiwanis Club.
