Search for boater ends at Lake Milton

CRAIG BEACH

The search for Kyle Alspaugh, 29, of East Canton, ended Wednesday night when his body was recovered in Lake Milton.

The Vindicator’s broadcast partner, 21 WFMJ-TV, reported that authorities were first notified of trouble after an individual fishing nearby saw a man driving a small fishing boat that was moving erratically. Shortly after seeing the boat, the fisherman said he heard cries for help and notified authorities.

Alspaugh’s boat has been recovered. Authorities searched the area using boats, drones, divers and helicopters.

Ex-Niles auditor to be arraigned

WARREN

Charles Nader, the former Niles auditor indicted this month charges of on theft in office, tampering with records and unlawful interest in a public contract, will be arraigned at 11 a.m. Sept. 13 before visiting Judge Patricia Cosgrove.

Nader, 64, of Washington Street, Niles, served as auditor from 2006 to 2015, when he resigned. Nader’s indictment was revealed at the same time as a new set of indictments against former Niles mayor Ralph Infante Jr. and his wife, Judy. The Infantes were arraigned on the new charges the day the indictments were made public, but Nader was not.

Nader’s nine indictments accuse him of using a city computer for his private tax-preparation business and failing to list income from a tax client who also was doing business with the city.
