Man arrested at Youngstown bus station with 23 bags of grass

YOUNGSTOWN

Police say being banned from the Western Reserve Transit Authority station downtown did not deter Nathaniel Cheatham.

Cheatham, 25, of Oak Hill Avenue, was arrested on charges of trafficking in drugs and resisting arrest about 5:15 p.m. Tuesday at the 340 W. Federal St. station with 23 bags of suspected marijuana on him.

Reports said that Cheatham was issued a criminal-trespass warning at the station Saturday and also had several bags of suspected marijuana at that time, packaged to be sold.

He was arraigned in municipal court Wednesday before Magistrate Anthony Sertick, who set his bond at $14,000.

Police were called to the station by a security guard who had Cheatham in custody on the trespass warning but the guard was not able to search him.
