hubbard
Police are seeking a warrant for the arrest of Daniel R. Hilty, 22, of the 200 block of Woodbine Avenue, Warren, on charges of kidnapping after an incident early Friday.
Police said he and his 21-year-old girlfriend of Early Road Youngstown were traveling on Jacobs Road near Hubbard Road at 6:56 a.m. Friday and became engaged in dispute.
He pulled over, and she tried to get her two children, a 3-year-old boy and an 18-month-old boy, out of the car. But Hilty pulled away with the children still in the vehicle.
Hubbard police alerted Youngstown police. In less than 40 minutes, Youngstown police were able to locate the children at the Early Road address. The children were unhurt.

Drug charges

A Girard woman will appear Tuesday in Girard Municipal Court to answer several charges after she was stopped by Liberty police on Trumbull Avenue and state Route 193 (Belmont Avenue) earlier this week.
Police charged Laurie L. Harmon, 35, of Trumbull Avenue, with possession of drug paraphernalia and having fictitious plates after the random traffic stop at 8:10 p.m. Tuesday.
Harmon said she had a temporary tag and produced the registration. The plate on her black four-door Pontiac, however, belonged on a blue GMC truck.
Police also found two burnt spoons and two syringes.
She was given a citation for the fictitious plate and released on personal recognizance bond. She will appear in court on the drug paraphernalia charge.
