Police are looking for the man who robbed a 19-year-old South Side man at gunpoint.

According to police, the 19-year-old Hillman Street man was leaving a home on Lucius Avenue near South Avenue at 12:15 a.m. Wednesday when he was approached by two men. One of the men pulled out a handgun and demanded “everything you got.”

The victim told police he tried to run, but the man caught him, put the gun to his head and demanded his money. The victim handed over $100 and a cell phone.

Girlfriend injured

WARREN

Johnathan R. Jenkins, 26, of Willard Avenue Southeast, pleaded innocent Tuesday to felonious assault after police say he cut his live-in girlfriend in the arm with a knife during an argument.

He is in the Trumbull County Jail in lieu of $15,000 bond and returns to Warren Municipal Court on Tuesday.

Police officers were called twice early Sunday to the home on Willard where Jenkins, his girlfriend and their three children live.

The second time, about 4 a.m., police found the woman, 25, with a cut on the arm, which she said Jenkins gave her by waving a dagger-type knife around in her direction. She said he also head-butted her on her left eye, which caused swelling.
