2 Youngstown women face charges after Boardman drug bust

BOARDMAN — Two Youngstown women face charges after being arrested by Boardman police for obstructing official business, criminal trespassing and possession of drug abuse instruments and paraphernalia Saturday night.

Police reportedly went to a residence on Milltrace Drive after a tip about ongoing drug activity involving crack and heroin.

Officers entered the house through the garage after loudly announcing their presence and found two women in the house, later identified as Kianna Johnson of New Road and Sequoya King of Ivanhoe Avenue.

Searching the house, police found drug paraphernalia including three crack pipes and two syringes.

Police also found Johnson had an active warrant in Trumbull County for a fifth degree felony theft.

The two women will appear in Mahoning County court Tuesday for the obstruction charges.

Johnson was placed in the county jail while King was released.
