Man arrested on drug charges in Youngstown

YOUNGSTOWN — Police say they found six doses of suspected crack cocaine inside a cruiser while taking a man to the Mahoning County jail about 5:45 p.m. Tuesday.

Reports said John Reid, 26, of East Philadelphia Avenue, was a passenger inside a car driven by Jarrell Martin, 25, of South Bon Air Avenue, that was pulled over at Himrod and Truesdale avenues for running a stop sign on the East Side.

Police cited Martin for driving under suspension and Reid had a warrant from Youngstown Municipal Court on a zoning violation, reports said. When he was taken to jail, he constantly fidgeted in the back seat of the cruiser, reports said.

When officers took him out of the cruiser, they found a bag where his feet were that had the crack cocaine. He had a charge of possession of drugs/crack cocaine added and was booked into the jail on that charge and the warrant.
