YOUNGSTOWN

Two patients from Heartland Behavioral Healthcare Hospital in Massillon, one of whom is from Youngstown, were apprehended by Youngstown police at 5:10 a.m. today about three hours after they escaped from the facility.

Arrested were DeAngelo Young and Chad Vanhorn, who assaulted two HBH staff members and escaped with a staff person’s vehicle before being arrested without incident, according to the Ohio Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services.

DeAngelo was at HBH for restoration to competency to stand trial for charges of attempted murder, felonious assault, aggravated robbery, kidnapping and theft.

Young was indicted in the shooting of a 28-year-old man in the parking lot of a 3200 Market St. gas station in Youngstown about 2:10 a.m. last Aug. 4. Reports said police found the victim half out of his car when they arrived and that witnesses were trying to help him. He was reportedly paralyzed from the assault.

Both staff members at BHH were released after treatment at a Massillon area hospital.
