Friday, October 24, 2014

CAMPBELL — Police have charged a Youngstown man for impersonating a police officer and carrying a gun into a senior-citizen facility.

Brion Koenig, 19, surrendered to Campbell police at 1:46 p.m. Thursday for the incident last Friday at Vasu Manor on Roosevelt Drive.

Police reported a man visiting his grandmother at the facility posed as a police officer and had a gun in his possession.

Police took Koenig to the Mahoning County jail, where he was placed on suicide watch because of several comments he made to police. He will be monitored until his court appearance at 9 a.m. Tuesday at Campbell Municipal Court, police said.
