Police investigate reported fondling

YOUNGSTOWN

Police are investigating the reported fondling of a South Side woman by a fast-food delivery person.

According to reports, the Craiger Avenue woman ordered food from a Market Street Chinese restaurant Saturday and was prepared to pay for the delivery with a credit card.

Reports say the man asked the woman to get into his car so he could obtain the credit information but then began to “grope” the woman.

The woman told police she ran from the car.
