Canfield

Trent Rapp, former owner of the Canfield Dairy Queen, will return to court today on charges of violating the terms of his probation.

Rapp, 44 of Beaver Township, was sentenced on May 30 to five years’ probation on convictions for marijuana trafficking, cocaine possession, corrupting another with drugs, possessing criminal tools, illegal use of a minor in nudity-oriented material and two counts of pandering sexually oriented material.

He also was ordered to have no contact with the victim in the case and to register as Tier 1 sex offender.

Rapp, who formerly owned and operated the Dairy Queen in Canfield, was arrested Friday by the Adult Parole Authority for violating those terms.

Canfield police said the victim’s mother gave them a statement that said Rapp had recently met with her son, a heroin addict, to give him money for drugs. Police said they sent the mother’s statement to APA, whose officers arrested Rapp on Friday.

He was taken to the Mahoning County jail.
