Campbell resident Leeana Bermudez-Shaulis, 18, and Youngstown resident Alex New, 19, were arraigned Monday afternoon, each charged with receiving stolen property. Police caught them after a traffic stop and questioned them, according to a police report. Bermudez-Shaulis said New stole the car Dec. 9 and planned to leave with her for Kansas the same day.
New said a man named Jose stole the car. He said he entered the car because Jose had a gun and he was scared he would kill him. While buying marijuana, New left with the car to pick up Bermudez-Shaulis.
