Hearing delayed

WARREN

The hearing originally scheduled for today for Jacob Larosa, 16, of Niles, charged with the aggravated murder, attempted rape, aggravated robbery and aggravated burglary of his elderly neighbor, has been pushed back to 9 a.m. next Friday before Judge W. Wyatt McKay because of a scheduling conflict.

It will be Larosa’s first court appearance since an Ohio Supreme Court ruling in June that prevented the case from being sent back to juvenile court.

Robbery charge

YOUNGSTOWN

Rashun Tennant, 29, is in the Mahoning County jail on a charge of aggravated robbery after reports said he tried to rob two men about 12:50 a.m. Thursday in a parking lot in the first block of McGuffey Road on the East Side.

One of the men told police he fired several shots at Tennant. He was found at Andrews Avenue and Valley Street bleeding from the head. According to a police report, Tennant said he told officers he was injured playing football.

The two men, however, identified Tennant as the man who tried to rob them. He was arrested after he was taken to St. Elizabeth Youngstown Hospital.

Summons issued

Benedis told officers she had too much to drink and missed her bus.

Officers issued her a summons on a charge of disorderly conduct. She has a hearing at 6 p.m. Aug. 29 in Mahoning County Area Court.
