Boardman police charge man with burglary

BOARDMAN — Police served a warrant for arrest to a 43-year-old Boardman man after he was accused of cashing at least 19 stolen checks.

Donald Bagdassarian Jr. of Pine Tree Lane is facing a second-degree felony burglary charge and a third-degree felony theft charge.

He is now in Mahoning County Jail.

The step-son of a 91-year-old man told police in December that his step-father had at least 19 checks taken from his residence sometime before Sept. 12.

The checks had been forged and cashed at the bank. Altogether, $5,850 was taken.

Police were also told that Bagdassarian did odd jobs around the apartment building that the man lives in.

His arraignment on the charges is at 8:30 a.m. Tuesday in Boardman.
