Man, 20, arraigned on robbery charge

WARREN

Teano D. Smith, 20, of Burton Street Southeast and Parkman Road Southwest, was arraigned Monday on an aggravated-robbery charge, accused of robbing a teen near a Parkman Road gas station last week.

A not-guilty plea was entered for Smith in Warren Municipal Court, and he is being held in the Trumbull County Jail without eligibility to make bond.

A man, 18, of Warren said he spoke with Smith inside Gasland, 860 Parkman Road NW at 9:30 p.m. last Tuesday because he knew Smith from the Trumbull County Juvenile Justice Center.

When the victim left the store, Smith followed him and then demanded money while holding his hand in his pocket as if he had a gun, police said. The victim gave Smith cash from his wallet, he said.
