West Side man arraigned on charges involving assault on YSU officer

YOUNGSTOWN — Seth McDaniel allegedly led police on a high-speed chase and assaulted a Youngstown State University officer.

And he won’t be getting out of Mahoning County jail until he can post hundreds of thousands of dollars in bond.

McDaniel, 33, of South Hazelwood Avenue appeared today before Judge Robert Douglas of Youngstown Municipal Court for arraignment on felony charges of aggravated robbery, two counts of felonious assault and failure to comply. He also faces two misdemeanor charges of child endangering.

McDaniel told the court his only income is Social Security disability, so the judge assigned him an attorney, then set his bond at a total of $700,000 — $150,000 for each felony charge against him and $50,000 for each misdemeanor charge against him.

McDaniel’s preliminary hearing is set for Dec. 28.
