Jail officer in bar fight in Boardman

BOARDMAN

A Mahoning County Sheriff Office employee has been put on paid administrative leave after getting into a bar fight at Blue Wolf Tavern on Saturday. Sheriff Jerry Greene said Zachary Pasko works in the county jail and was charged with assault after township police arrested him.

Greene said the office will conduct its own internal- affairs investigation separate from Boardman’s and will decide what form of “disciplinary action” will be taken against Pasko. Greene anticipated the office’s investigation will be finished by the end of the week. Pasko has a pretrial hearing scheduled for Dec. 22 at Mahoning County Area Court.
