Warren man faces domestic-violence charge

WARREN — Jeffrey L. Stychno, 46, of Oak Knoll Avenue Northeast, pleaded not guilty today in Warren Municipal Court to a misdemeanor domestic-violence charge resulting from an incident involving his daughter reported Monday. He was arrested at his home Tuesday.

The girl told police she went to her father’s house Monday afternoon to get makeup when her father grabbed her by the wrist while they were standing on the stairs and tried to push her down the stairs. The girl fled the home, she said.

Stychno once worked as a chiropractor with an office on Niles Cortland Road in Howland, but the Ohio License Center website says his license, which expired in 2014, is forfeited.

In September 2013, he and fellow chiropractor Michael Frasca were each ordered to pay $69,781 to the Bureau of Worker’s Compensation and $19,715 to Medicaid after they were each convicted of fraudulent billing practices during their time as co-owners of Integrated Health of Warren.
