Fugitive arrested

BOARDMAN

A traffic stop by township police Friday led to the arrest of a wanted fugitive.

Michelle Ann Ahmad, 47, of West Virginia is now in Mahoning County jail for a first-degree felony offense out of Polk County, Fla.

Ahmad was stopped for failing to yield the right of way at a stop sign on Hillman Street.

Police discovered she had a warrant for a probation violation for battery and resisting arrest.

Police also cited her for driving under suspension.

Woman arraigned

WARREN

Chelsey N. Lewis, 24, of Commerce Street Northwest was arraigned Monday in Warren Municipal Court on two misdemeanor counts of child endangering after police found her children, age 4 and 2, home alone Sunday night.

Police were called to the home at 10:22 p.m. and found the front door open. Police knocked, and the 4-year-old came to the door, saying her 2-year-old brother was upstairs. He was found in his bedroom.

The girl told police her mother left “a while ago and said she was going to the doctor.”

Police were unable to make phone contact with Lewis or the grandmother of the children, so Trumbull County Children Services picked up the children and took them.

Police received another call after midnight regarding Lewis being home, so police arrested her on the two charges.
