YOUNGSTOWN

Two local men were arraigned in U.S. Northern District Court on charges they possessed firearms despite being convicted felons.

Alex Green, 28, of 10th Street in Campbell was arraigned Thursday before U.S. Magistrate Judge George Limbert and is in jail until a detention hearing next Thursday.

He is accused of having a .25-caliber handgun Feb. 18 when Campbell police responded to a call that someone in a parked car was pointing a gun at a Tenney Avenue home.

Green is on probation for a 2009 felonious assault through Mahoning County Common Pleas Court and is on probation for that charge as well as a federal charge of being a felon in illegal possession of a firearm in federal court.

Also arraigned before Limbert was Darryl Lee, no age listed in court documents, who was found with a 9mm pistol and $8,000 cash when parole agents searched his Kendis Circle apartment on Youngstown’s East Side on Jan. 30.

Lee is on probation for a conviction in Pennsylvania of aggravated assault with a firearm, according to court records.

Court records said a check of the gun showed it had been stolen, and a woman in the apartment also said she stayed there with Lee and her two small children.

Lee also was ordered jailed until his detention hearing Thursday, according to court records.
