Man arrested again in domestic violence

YOUNGSTOWN — A man who police said was arrested several times on domestic-violence charges in the past picked up a new charge Saturday.

Curtis Shavers, 41, of West Ravenwood Avenue, is in the Mahoning County jail on no bond, according to jail records today, on a felony charge of domestic violence.

He was arrested about 4 p.m. Saturday at a restaurant in the 7300 block of Market Street in Boardman where he was working, reports said.

Reports said police were called to St. Elizabeth Youngstown Hospital, where a woman was receiving stitches.

Reports said the woman told police she and Shavers were arguing earlier Saturday, and as she was taking clothes out of her closet, Shavers knocked her to the ground with an unidentified object.

The woman told police Shavers told her he was going to kill her and her family and burn her house down if she called police, reports said. The woman managed to run to a neighbor’s house where an ambulance was called, and she was taken to the hospital from there, reports said.
