Probation sentence

YOUNGSTOWN

Latesha Hines, 26, of Himrod Avenue, was sentenced to two years in prison on a probation violation earlier this month by Judge R. Scott Krichbaum in Mahoning County Common Pleas Court after she was found with heroin in her purse when she and her boyfriend got into an argument while in in a car that was in front of the Mahoning County Courthouse.

At the time of her arrest July 16, Hines was on probation from Judge Krichbaum on a charge of trafficking in heroin. She had gone to court with her boyfriend, who was being sentenced in an unrelated case, when they got into an argument and got into their car where they were stopped in front of the courthouse by a deputy who went to investigate. She faces heroin-possession charges in that case.
