Woman sentenced in road-rage case

YOUNGSTOWN

A Whitman Lane woman was sentenced to 90 days in the Mahoning County jail for an April road-rage incident.

Brendalize Corchado, 32, received the sentence Wednesday from Judge Elizabeth Kobly of Youngstown Municipal Court.

Corchado was convicted of assault for an April 13 incident on North Center Street on the East Side.

According to police reports, Corchado was one of two people who boxed in a car, got out of her own car, and scratched and clawed at the driver because Corchado was upset over being cut off.

Trustees seek help from Sen. Brown

VIENNA

The Vienna Township trustees have sent a letter to U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown, D-Cleveland, asking for his help in requiring an injection well in the township to have lightning-suppression equipment added.

The letter says such safeguards are important because lightning caused several oil tanks to explode at an injection facility in Whitesboro, Texas, in May 2015.

The letter says the trustees plan to ask the Federal Aviation Administration to review the new injection-well site on state Route 193. It is 800 feet south of a runway at the Youngstown-Warren Regional Airport.

The well is operated by KTCA of Oklahoma City, doing business as Cooper Ridge Disposal.

Trustees contacted the Ohio Department of Natural Resources Division of Oil and Gas asking for lightning suppression at the site, but, “We were told there is no requirement due to this well being located in a rural area,” the trustees’ letter says.
