WARREN

Two men were charged with disorderly conduct Friday morning after witnesses said they were acting strangely at the Bureau of Motor Vehicles office at 2750 Mahoning Ave. NW, causing personnel to lock the doors.

One of the men was later administered the overdose-reversal drug Naloxone for an apparent drug overdose.

The two men are Osmond R. LeMasters, 23, of Queens Drive and Newton Drive in Newton Falls, and Timothy B. Cook, 32, of Center South in Leavittsburg. Lemasters is due today in Warren Municipal Court for arraignment. Cook was due Monday for arraignment but apparently did not appear.

Police were called at 9:45 a.m. Friday for two males running around the parking lot of the Jamestown Plaza, taking off their clothes, one of them growling and punching the cement.

While officers were on their way, the license bureau called to say one of the males entered the license bureau and waved his arms around. He then went outside and performed a sex act on himself, police said. That’s when the license bureau locked the doors.

An officer found Cook, who was identified as the one committing the sex act, in the parking lot sweating profusely and acting like a gorilla — squatting on all fours, punching the blacktop and jumping up and down screaming incoherently, police said.

Anofficer found LeMasters walking on Mahoning and wrote him a disorderly-conduct citation.

Ambulance personnel arrived and administered the overdose-reversal drug to Cook. Cook was taken by ambulance to ValleyCare Trumbull Memorial Hospital.
