LORDSTOWN

Thomas I. Taylor, 42, of state Route 518, Lisbon, made an initial appearance in Newton Falls Municipal Court on Thursday on charges of breaking and entering, possessing criminal tools, criminal trespassing, and failure to comply with a police officer after Lordstown police arrested him near the former elementary school.

Lordstown school maintenance personnel notified police around 10:30 a.m. that they thought someone had entered the building, located near the intersection of Tod Avenue and Salt Springs Road.

Police spotted two men inside cutting copper piping, but the men fled on foot. Officers caught one of them, identified as Taylor, on Salt Springs Road.

Taylor was released from the Trumbull County jail early Friday after he posted a $2,500 bond.
