Money missing
WARREN
The assistant athletic director for Warren City Schools will remain on paid administrative leave until an internal investigation is complete, the district’s spokesman said Friday.
Lenny Redmond, who has been with the district for more than five years, was put on leave Monday, after $2,600 was reported missing from the district’s athletic fund, said spokesman Aaron Schwab.
The shortfall was uncovered during a routine internal audit and because Redmond oversees the account, he was placed on leave, Schwab said.
Warren police are also investigating.

Liberty apartment fire called suspicious
Liberty
Fire crews continue to investigate a fire that destroyed a vacant apartment complex here.
Capt. Arnold Barzak said someone notified the department of the fire just before 3 p.m. Thursday. Crews could see thick, black smoke coming from the property at 1740 Naylor Lloyd Road as they approached, he said.
Barzak said the complex closed about six years ago and has been through foreclosures, changes in ownership and tax issues. “It’s had a rocky past,” he said.
He said the fire is suspicious, and the department is still investigating.
“It’s definitely suspicious because there’s no gas or electric, nothing in there that could have fueled it on its own,” he said.
