Weekend car crash

BOARDMAN

A 19-year-old township man is facing a drug-trafficking charge after a weekend car crash with an off-duty police officer.

John William Fithian, of Oakridge Drive, struck an off-duty Boardman police officer on Mathews Road around 2 p.m. Saturday, police said. Reports state that officers smelled marijuana and asked to search his car. Police said they found $600, a digital scale and 66 grams of what appeared to be marijuana packaged in small bags.

Facing charges

liberty

Jeffrey L. Long, 45, of Millet Street, Youngstown, pleaded not guilty in Girard Municipal Court Tuesday to having drug paraphernalia and obstructing official business. The charges stem from an incident in a restaurant parking lot in the 3500 block of Belmont Avenue about 6:30 p.m. Friday.

Police responded to a fight among Long and three females, who told police Long said he’d give them $20 for a ride to a gas station on Belmont. The women gave him the ride but said he didn’t give them the money. When Long tried to walk away, the women threw rocks at him.

Police found a suspected crack pipe on him.
