Loaded gun found on man in store

YOUNGSTOWN — Police found a loaded gun Wednesday on a man in an East Side store after being alerted by someone wanting to report suspicious activity.

Donni Feagin, 32, of Youngstown, was taken to the Mahoning County jail on charges of carrying a concealed weapon, being a felon in possession of a firearm and possession of marijuana. He is expected to be arraigned in municipal court today.

Reports said officer Nick Bailey and his police dog were on patrol about 3:15 p.m. on McGuffey Road near Jacobs Road when Bailey was flagged down and told that there was a person in the nearby Dollar General on McGuffey Road who appeared to be lurking in the store.

Bailey went to the store and a clerk inclined his head toward the man, who was later identified as Feagin, reports said. Reports said when Bailey went to talk to Feagin, Feagin turned around like he was trying to shield part of his body. Bailey searched him and found a .22-caliber revolver loaded with seven rounds, reports said.

Feagin also had a bag of suspected marijuana, reports said.
