Nearly hit by rock

BOARDMAN

Police here are looking for whoever threw a softball-sized rock through the window of a Willow Drive home just after midnight Friday.

The rock, according to reports, just missed one of the residents as it landed on his bed where he was sleeping. When police arrived, they spoke to the victim and two witnesses. One witness told police he heard a loud noise while he was downstairs watching TV. When he ran outside to see what happened, he saw five juveniles running through the neighborhoods. He added that he believes he knows who they are because of past physical altercations.

The witness who was nearly hit by the rock refused medical attention. There were no visible cuts on him. The victim said he wants to press charges if police find out who is responsible.

Indicted in death

SALEM

A Boardman man charged in the murder of his estranged girlfriend was indicted by a Columbiana County grand jury.

Mason Feisel, 34, was charged by Salem police in the death of Samantha Shasteen. Shasteen’s father found her dead in the bathroom of a home at 2107 Oak St. early June 5. Shasteen, 32, suffered from severe head trauma and died from strangulation.

Man exposes self

WARREN

A 54-year-old Summit Street NW woman reported being confronted by a man who walked up to her Thursday afternoon while she was doing yard work and exposed himself.

The woman said the black male, 6-feet-1 and thin, wearing baggy pants and a red shirt, asked the woman about 12:30 p.m. if she needed help with her yard work.

When she turned around, his genitals were exposed.

The woman’s son arrived about that time. The son got into his car and followed the man. When the son got close to the suspect, the man threatened to kill the son.
