Brent P. Williams, 32, of Hazelwood Avenue Southeast is in the Trumbull County Jail awaiting arraignment next week after he was charged Friday with felonious assault and being a felon in possession of a firearm.

He’s accused of firing a weapon at two females who came to visit him at 12:47 p.m. Monday in front of a home in the 800 block of Hazelwood Avenue Southeast.

A 23-year-old city woman said she and another female went to the home to buy marijuana from Williams, but when Williams arrived on a bicycle, he went into the house, got a weapon and came out firing at them.

The Akron woman said the gun looked real but sounded like a BB gun. The women fled and were not injured. Police did not find the shooter.
