Not eligible for bond

WARREN

Cassandra D. White, 25, of South Leavitt Road is in the Trumbull County Jail not eligible to make bond after she and a man were arrested Friday night on charges accusing them of possessing chemicals used to make methamphetamine.

The man is Nicholas H. Barna, 32, of Clover Lane. He is in jail on $20,000 bond.

Both were arraigned Monday in Warren Municipal Court on the felony charge. Not-guilty pleas were entered for both.
