Man faces charges

BOARDMAN

A township man is scheduled to appear in court today after he was arrested Thursday for an incident in which police say he damaged neighbors’ homes and vehicles by shooting at them with a BB gun.

Jeffrey Bachani, 22, of Indianola Road, is charged with vandalism, criminal damaging and obstructing official business.

The charges stem from an incident in which Bachani purportedly stood at a window, shot at and caused damage to properties on Euclid Boulevard, Indianola and Tudor Lane.

Police reportedly found a BB gun inside Bachani’s home. Bachani was released on bond, pending his court appearance.
