Arraignment set

AUSTINTOWN

A township man arrested on three child-pornography charges will be arraigned here Monday.

Rex Bosley, 59, of Austintown will be arraigned at 3 p.m. in Mahoning County Area Court. He consented to a search of his residence on Rita Avenue on Wednesday, and authorities seized a laptop computer and phone and arrested him.

He was arrested on charges of one count each of pandering sexually oriented material involving a minor, pandering obscenity involving a minor and illegal use of a minor in nudity-oriented material or performance.

He had been a seventh-grade girls basketball coach at Austintown Middle School this past season.

Drug charges

HUBBARD

Michael R. Atwood, 30, of Lewis Seifert Road, is in the Trumbull County Jail without eligibility to make bond after Hubbard Township police arrested him Tuesday on charges of drug trafficking and drug possession in an undercover operation.

Police said Atwood sold heroin and a generic form of Suboxone to an undercover officer in the parking lot of Burger King on North Main Street.

Police say they believe Atwood was “pivotal in the distribution of heroin in Hubbard.”

Atwood was arraigned Wednesday in Girard Municipal Court, where a not-guilty plea was entered for him to the felony charges.

Impaired driving

BOARDMAN

A Youngstown man faces an impaired-driving charge after police found him passed out in his vehicle in a fast-food drive-through lane.

Township police responded to Taco Bell, 940 Boardman-Poland Road, early Thursday in reference to a man who had been in the lane for 20 minutes.

Charged is Daniel Morgan, 66, of Sheridan Road. He was cited for operating a vehicle while impaired and placed under a one-year administrative driver’s license suspension.

Arrested in burglary

YOUNGSTOWN

A man and a woman were arrested on warrants about 1:35 p.m. Wednesday at a home in the 2100 block of Burbank Avenue accusing them of threatening an East Side woman with a shotgun Tuesday.
