WARREN

A Cape-Cod-style home at 2525 Jackson St. SW sustained $20,000 in damage during a 10:11 p.m. Sunday fire that appears to have been intentionally set.

Warren Fire Chief Ken Nussle said the most-recent occupants of the home moved out a couple of days before Sunday’s fire.

The fire started on the home’s exterior and extended to the second floor, causing extensive damage to the second-floor bedroom.

Fire investigators have not been able to find to the former occupants but are attemping to talk to them, Nussle said.

Burglary sentence

WARREN

Glenn R. Fulton, 52, of Youngstown and East Palestine, has been sentenced to five years in prison – four in Mahoning County and one in Trumbull County – for burglaries in Vienna and Youngstown on July 28, 2014.

A judge in Mahoning County sentenced him to four years in prison a year ago, and Judge Peter Kontos sentenced him to one additional year Monday.

The incident began with a break-in at a house in Vienna Township, but he fled from a neighbor and Vienna police traveling more than 100 miles per hour on state Route 11 before Youngstown police found him at a house on Kiawatha Road.

Fulton pleaded guilty to two counts of burglary in Mahoning County and one in Trumbull.
