Lowellville chief to resign in wake of beating, threat allegations

LOWELLVILLE

Richard Jamrozik is slated to resign as Lowellville’s police chief after the Mahoning County Domestic Relations Court granted a five-year civil protection order against him Wednesday.

A 39-year-old woman filed documents with the court in July, alleging Jamrozik, her ex-boyfriend, beat her on multiple occasions and threatened to kill her.

The order, which extends through Aug. 10, 2021, prohibits Jamrozik from being within 500 feet of the woman and from possessing a gun.

Though the order is a civil matter, violation would be a criminal offense.

“My client is very distraught,” said Atty. David Betras, who is representing the woman. “She just wants to be left alone and this order ensures she will be left alone.”

Atty. Gerald Ingram, who is representing Jamrozik, declined to comment.
