Man injured in crash

LEAVITTSBURG

Troopers from the Southington Post of the Ohio State Highway Patrol are investigating a one-vehicle crash involving injury on the state Route 5 westbound exit ramp to U.S. Route 422.

Wanaka Chea, 45, of Cleveland was driving a 2000 International tractor-trailer at 12:25 p.m. Tuesday and was unable to negotiate the curve on the exit ramp, causing the chains securing two steel coils on his trailer to break, allowing one of the coils to leave the trailer and come to rest on the opposite side of Route 422.

The truck and trailer then overturned onto the driver’s side. Chea was taken to ValleyCare Trumbull Memorial Hospital, where he was in stable condition late Tuesday. He was cited for unsafe speed. Route 422 was partially closed for about three hours during the cleanup.

6-year prison term

CLEVELAND

A 37-year-old Alliance man was sentenced to just under six years in prison after pleading guilty to two federal charges of resisting, impeding and interfering with law enforcement.

A third misdemeanor resisting- arrest charge was dismissed as part of a plea agreement, said assistant U.S. Atty. David Toepfer.

The U.S. Marshals Task Force had been looking for Charles Hill in March for about 10 days on an arrest warrant out of West Virginia for theft when they located him in the Warren Plaza, according to Vindicator files.

Hill reportedly tried to run over two agents in the plaza parking lot, fled and was caught later in the day at a Liberty motel room, reports state.
