Vulgar name results in arrest of East Side man

YOUNGSTOWN — Police arrested an East Side man about 4 p.m. Tuesday after reports said he fired a gun in the air after his mother was upset at him for calling her a vulgar name.

Police were called to a home in the 400 block of North Garland Avenue for a report of shots fired. Reports said the woman told police she was arguing with her son, Deangelo Christian, 25, over a broken screen door and he called her a name.

Reports said the mother told police she protested after her son called her a name and Christian pulled a gun out of his waistband and fired a shot into the air.

Christian was arrested on charges of domestic violence by intimidation and discharging a fire within city limits.

Police found a 9mm shell casing on the front porch but could not find a gun, reports said.
