Off-road rider being held in jail without chance to make bond

Staff report

WARREN

A not-guilty plea was entered Wednesday for Trevor S. Hall, 21, of Buena Vista Avenue Northeast, one of the people charged with riding off-road vehicles across Trumbull County on Sunday.

He was ordered held in the Trumbull County Jail without eligibility to make bond.

Hall was arraigned in Warren Municipal Court on three felony charges after being booked into the jail at 1:05 a.m. Wednesday on three felony charges: two counts of failure to comply with the orders of a police officer and one count of receiving stolen property, all felonies.

Hall returns to court Tuesday.

The court issued arrest warrants for Hall on Monday and Tuesday. Warren police said Hall was among about 70 people who participated in the ride. Lt. Jeff Cole of the Warren Police Department said Hall also posted messages on social media about the ride before it began.

Hall is one of 11 people, most from the Cleveland and Akron areas, charged by Warren and Liberty police in connection with the ride, which one rider called a “bike life” event.

Warren police released a video from a cruiser’s dash camera showing riders doing “wheelies” and traveling in both lanes of travel on several Warren roads Sunday with police following with lights and sirens activated.

Off-road vehicles such as dirt bikes and four-wheelers cannot be legally driven on public streets, police said.
