Few minor glitches in first Youngstown video-arraignment system

YOUNGSTOWN — There were a few minor audio glitches, but overall, city officials say the new Youngstown video-arraignment system worked well on its first day.

Municipal Court Magistrate Anthony Sertick Jr. arraigned 13 prisoners today using the new $22,000 system. The process took less than an hour.

The city put the system together last week because the Mahoning County sheriff’s department stopped providing video-arraignment services at the county jail for city prisoners.
