Man arrest on drug charges after fight call

YOUNGSTOWN — Police found seven bags of crack cocaine on a man they took into custody early Monday afternoon on the South Side during a fight call.

Police were called to a gas station in the 2600 block of Glenwood Avenue at about 1:05 p.m. for a report of a man and a woman fighting in a car. When they got there, a woman said that Javon Johnson, 22, of Boardman, had punched her in the face.

Johnson said the woman was lying but police took him out of the car and searched him and found a plastic bag with smaller bags of crack cocaine inside, reports said.

Johnson was arrested for trafficking in drugs and taken to the Mahoning County jail.

Reports said there were no marks on the woman indicating she had been hit.
