New fire vehicle
COITSVILLE
Trustees on Monday approved the purchase of a new fire department vehicle.
The current Chevrolet Suburban from the early 1980s will soon be replaced by a 2014 Chevrolet Tahoe. It’s a larger vehicle, and one with four-wheel drive, which will allow easier winter driving.
The 2014 model will cost $30,990 — the state purchase price — while $9,010 will be spent on equipping the vehicle, said Trustee Greg Haren.
The vehicle will be used for EMS and fire calls, as well as for transportation to department-related seminars.
Released from jail
WARREN
Farrah Jones, 32, of Willard Avenue Southeast, was released from the Trumbull County jail Monday after posting $3,500 bond in the Saturday afternoon stabbing of a 24-year-old Milton Street Southeast man.
An innocent plea was entered for Jones in Warren Municipal Court to one count of felonious assault after the man reported that Jones threw a cup of coffee at him, then picked up a piece of the broken cup and cut him on the face and chest with it at 3:38 p.m. at his house.
