Man arrested for stolen computer case

BOARDMAN

A Youngstown man faces a felony charge of receiving stolen property after township police arrested him on a warrant Thursday.

Police say Mark Rogers, 55, of Boardman Avenue, tried to sell a stolen computer in September.

An employee at the computer store reportedly became suspicious after observing medical files on the computer. The employee then contacted the Ohio Heart Institute in Youngstown and discovered that the institute was missing two computers. The employee also learned that Rogers was a patient there.

When police questioned Rogers in October, he claimed that he bought the computer from an unknown person on the street.

Rogers was taken to the Mahoning County jail, pending an appearance in Mahoning County Area Court here Tuesday.
