Woman arrested on theft warrant faces drug charges

A woman taken into custody on a theft warrant after a traffic stop about 3:20 p.m. Tuesday at McGuffey Road and Willow Street also was arrested on two felony drug charges.

Heather Carver, 38, of Florencdale Avenue, is charged with possession of drugs/heroin and possession of drugs/crack cocaine after police found individual doses of suspected crack cocaine and marijuana on her.

Man arrested

YOUNGSTOWN

Police arrested a West Side man after he continually swore at them about noon Tuesday.

Reports said David L. Cochran Jr., 19, was filming officers with his smartphone as he was swearing at them, but they just told Cochran to have a nice day.

He was arrested on a charge of disorderly conduct after his yelling attracted the attention of several people in the neighborhood and he ignored requests to calm down, reports said.
