Gun in car

YOUNGSTOWN

A Catalina Avenue woman was taken to the Mahoning County jail on a charge of improperly handling a firearm in a motor vehicle after police found a loaded .32-caliber revolver in a purse in her car Thursday and also seven live .32-caliber rounds.

Reports said Teaira Cleveland, 28, was pulled over about 5:20 p.m. for making an improper turn at Market Street and Lucius Avenue. Cleveland acted very nervous when speaking to police, and she also reached for her purse when she was asked to get out of the car.

Officers asked if they could see her purse, reports said. That is when the gun was found. Reports also said Cleveland also has three open suspensions on her driver’s license.
