Closing arguments today in Thompson burglary/kidnapping trial
WARREN
Closing arguments will be today in Trumbull County Common Pleas Court in the trial of John A. Thompson, 40, of Hoagland-Blackstub Road in Mecca Township and Dickey Avenue Northwest in Warren.
Thompson is charged with aggravated burglary and kidnapping. He is accused of breaking into a North Park Avenue home near North River Road in Warren Township in June, and leading the female resident through the house, putting items in his gym bag as they walked.
The woman covertly called 911 and left the phone off the hook, leading Warren Township police officers to catch the burglar.
