Boardman man arrested on warrant after domestic disturbance

BOARDMAN — A call about a domestic violence incident led to an arrest on a state warrant for an escape charge.

Township police responded to an apartment on Applecrest Court Tuesday, where a victim reported that the father of her child, Calvin Shelton, threatened to stab her and then slashed her tires. Shelton then fled the scene.

When police found him, they discovered that Shelton, 25, also of Applecrest Court, had a warrant out of Mahoning County for escape, a second-degree felony charge. He also was arrested on charges of domestic violence, criminal damaging, theft and vandalism.

A state warrant says that Shelton was sentenced to 5.25 years in prison after he was convicted of aggravated robbery, aggravated burglary, firearms in a motor vehicle and kidnapping.

He was released from the Marion Correctional Institution on parole last July, according to the warrant, and was subsequently charged with escape after he violated the conditions of his release.

Shelton is in the Mahoning County jail. He is scheduled to appear in Mahoning County Area Court here Thursday.
