Man pleads guilty

WARREN

DeShondre C. Crenshaw, 18, of Columbus and Estelle Court, Niles, has pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter and tampering with evidence in the April 3 shooting death of an Akron man near the Kenmore Apartments behind the Warren Plaza.

Crenshaw will be sentenced Nov. 17 by Judge W. Wyatt McKay in Trumbull County Common Pleas Court. Crenshaw could get up to 18 years in prison.

Warren police said Scott C. Harvey, 25, was in the area visiting and hanging out in a parking lot with a friend when a confrontation with Crenshaw took place, resulting in the shooting.

Harvey and his friend were both college students from outside the area, police said.

Pleads innocent

WARREN

Lindsey Lee, 41, of Deercreek Court, pleaded innocent Wednesday in Warren Municipal Court to four counts of arson after his arrest for a Tuesday night fire on Fairfield Avenue Northeast.

Police said a witness told them Lee had come to the residence earlier in the day and appeared to be upset about a property dispute he was having with his stepfather over the home at 565 Fairfield Ave.

About 8 p.m., the witness said she and three other people were inside the house, and she saw Lee throwing something on fire near the house and saw the house was also on fire. Lee turned himself in at the Warren police station later Tuesday night.

Warren firefighters said the fire did not cause any injuries but damaged a first-floor room and a basement room and left minor smoke damage throughout the house.
