Campbell man re-sentenced to 4-year prison term

YOUNGSTOWN — A Campbell man has received a new prison sentence for assaulting two police officers and possessing drugs.

Tim Vari, 57, of Sixth Street, appeared Friday before Judge R. Scott Krichbaum of Mahoning County Common Pleas Court a second time for sentencing on two charges of assault of a police officer, possession of cocaine, failure to obey the order of an officer and receiving stolen property. He was sentenced to four years in prison.

Vari originally had pleaded guilty to the charges in a plea agreement with prosecutors in 2007. Judge Krichbaum, at that time, sentenced Vari to eight years in prison.

The 7th District Court of Appeals, however, overturned the sentence and sent the matter back to common pleas court for re-sentencing.
