Drug charges

A Miami Avenue man was taken to the Mahoning County jail after police found 15 pills in his possession during a traffic stop, reports say.

Officers pulled over a car driven by 22-year-old Jeffrey Fuller about 10:10 p.m. Monday at South Avenue and the entrance to U.S. Route 62/state Route 7 freeway for running a red light.
