Burglary charge

YOUNGSTOWN

A city man is in the Mahoning County jail on $50,000 bond after police said he forced his way into his ex-girlfriend’s apartment about 2:10 p.m. Thursday, choked her and threatened her.

Curtis Warren, 24, was arraigned in municipal court on a charge of aggravated burglary. Reports said Warren was arrested after police were called to an apartment in the 3100 block of Leo Avenue.

Reports said after Warren got inside the apartment, he choked and kicked the victim, his ex-girlfriend, threw bleach on the walls, clothes and furniture then broke a mirror.
