On Jul. 4, reports say Traylor was arrested following a chase on the East Side and is on probation for an aggravated robbery charge in Mahoning County Common Pleas Court.

Police were called to Shehy Street and Medina Avenue by a man who said he was being followed by someone who fired a shot at him the day before. When police arrived the suspect, later identified as Traylor, drove away and led police on a chase, at one point driving against the flow of traffic on Lincoln Park Drive before abandoning his car at Lincoln Park Drive and Shehy Street. Traylor was caught after a short foot chase.

The victim made a police report Monday saying Traylor fired several shots at him during an argument.

The grand jury also indicted Jamal Finley, 39, East Avondale Avenue, on possession of cocaine with major drug offender specification, illegal conveyance in detention facility and falsification.

On Jul. 5, reports say corrections officers at the Mahoning County jail saw Finley try to stuff a plastic bag up his buttocks that had a large amount of crack and powder cocaine.
