WARREN
A Trumbull County grand jury indicted Trint N. Cellars, 21, of Woodrow Avenue in Champion in the April 25 death of William E. Anderson, 63, near the Candlelight Apartments off North Road.
Cellars, who was in the county jail on unrelated charges at the time, was indicted Tuesday on murder and aggravated-robbery charges.
Police were called to Harvard Drive Southeast at 10:06 p.m. April 25 where they found Anderson, of Ohio Avenue in Youngstown, unresponsive in the driver’s seat of a car in the roadway. He had been shot in the neck.
Cellars has been in the county jail since May 31 on charges of theft and receiving stolen property. Police said they charged him with receiving stolen property from the Best Buy in the Eastwood Mall complex May 16.
In another indictment, Tina M. Davis, 34, of Stillwagon Road in Howland, was arrested Tuesday on charges of tampering with evidence and obstructing justice in connection to the Feb. 7 incidents involving a man shot to death by Howland police.
Her charges relate to Richard N. Latimer, 34, of Mines Road in Howland, who was shot to death by Howland police in the Giant Eagle parking lot in Howland on Feb. 7.
That occurred several hours after Latimer was accused of shooting and killing Van Blevins, 44, of Main Street in Mineral Ridge in Blevins’ home.
Davis will be arraigned on the charges today.
Meanwhile, two men were indicted on multiple rape charges. Both are in the county jail awaiting arraignment.
Richard O. Robson, 18, of Tod Avenue Southwest, was indicted on six rape counts that each carry a possible life prison sentence.
He is accused of raping a girl, now 12, multiple times in Warren over the past few years. Rape allegations were reported to police in July.
Donald J. Bonetti, 45, of Palmer Avenue in Campbell, faces six counts of rape, one count of attempted rape and three counts of gross sexual imposition. He’s accused of raping a child under 13 years old.
Girard police charged Bonetti this month after Bonetti voluntarily gave an interview at the police department, according to a police report.
If convicted, Bonetti also could get a life prison sentence.
