South Side man faces prison term for police-officer assault

YOUNGSTOWN — A city man could spend more than 11 years in prison after his conviction on assaulting a city police officer with his car in 2010.

A Mahoning County grand jury indicted Clyde Hudson, 25, of Idlewood Avenue, on charges of felonious assault, improperly handling a firearm in a motor vehicle and illegal possession of a weapon. He had a trial to the court earlier this month.

Judge John M. Durkin of Mahoning County Common Pleas Court found Hudson guilty today of the felonious assault and improper handling charges. The judge found him not guilty of the illegal possession of a weapon charge.

Judge Durkin will sentence Hudson on Aug. 4. He could receive 10 years for the felonious assault and a maximum 18 months for the improper handling for a total of 111⁄2 years in prison.
