Wanted on warrant
YOUNGSTOWN
Police say a woman who fell off a bar stool at a West Side bar Friday evening is wanted on a traffic warrant.
Officers were called to the Casaloma Lounge, 2843 Mahoning Ave., about 11:45 p.m. for a woman who was bleeding heavily from around the eye. When they arrived, they found 43-year-old Diana Dirocco of Donald Avenue passed out and bleeding.
Reports said Dirocco was so drunk she could not talk when she woke up. Her husband and a bartender said she had been sitting on the stool drinking when she fell off the stool.
A records check revealed Dirocco has a warrant from a 2011 traffic case. She was taken to St. Elizabeth Youngstown Hospital with a police hold.
