Hearing reset

CANFIELD

Former boxing champ Kelly Pavlik’s preliminary hearing on a felonious assault charge was reset for March 1.

There was no reason listed for the rescheduling from Tuesday’s 4 p.m. hearing.

Pavlik, 33, of Sugarbush Drive, entered a not-guilty plea through his lawyer Jan. 29 in Mahoning County Area Court.

He is accused of shooting a man with a pellet gun at Pavlik’s home Aug. 9. The victim reported the incident in mid-October. Canfield officers charged Pavlik with felonious assault shortly after the victim’s report.

Attack reported

WARREN

An 88-year-old woman who lives in the 1500 block of Mahoning Avenue Northwest was knocked to the ground, causing an apparent fractured hip, when a male stole her purse as she got out of her car Monday.

The woman said she had parked her car in the garage and was leaving the vehicle when the male came from behind and snatched her purse, causing her to fall. She was on the ground when a police officer arrived at 11:45 a.m. Neighbors had put blankets on her while waiting for ambulance personnel.

The woman described her attacker as a white male wearing a coat with a fur hood. The hospital reported the woman probably has a fractured hip and possibly a broken arm.
