YOUNGSTOWN

Julius Crawford, one of the survivors of an arson that killed six members of his family a few years ago, is looking at spending time behind bars for an attack on his former girlfriend.

Crawford, 20, of Plazaview Court, entered into a plea agreement Wednesday on three felony charges before Judge R. Scott Krichbaum of Mahoning County Common Pleas Court.

Crawford had been charged with aggravated burglary, felonious assault and menacing by stalking in December. In the plea agreement reached between Crawford and prosecutors, the stalking charge was dropped, and Crawford agreed to plead guilty to the remaining two charges.
