Campbell mayor’s hearing reset
LISBON
A pretrial hearing that was scheduled Monday in Columbiana County Municipal Court on a drunken driving charge for Campbell Mayor George Krinos was rescheduled.
The case was set for a pretrial hearing at 9:45 a.m. Dec. 9 after Krinos hired Akron lawyer Michael Maillis. In August, Krinos pleaded innocent to driving drunk and speeding on state Route 11 near Columbiana.
Krinos told The Vindicator after the charge that he had “two drinks” at a party with his wife and had left the party to help a longtime personal friend when he got pulled over at 3:58 a.m. Aug. 27. He was stopped for driving 76 mph in a 65 mph limit on state Route 11.
The mayor, 33, later said: “Not at any time did I feel impaired, nor would I have gotten behind the wheel if I had thought I was impaired.” He has been mayor since December.
