WARREN

Trevor S. Hall, 23, of Buena Vista Avenue Northeast, organizer of last summer’s “bike life” event, has been indicted on five counts of receiving stolen property.

The bike event brought an estimated 70 people to Trumbull County to illegally ride off-road motorcycles and four wheelers on streets in Warren, Niles and elsewhere.

Hall will be arraigned in Trumbull County Common Pleas Court on Wednesday. He could get several years in prison if convicted.

Hall was sentenced to 30 days in the county jail in July after pleading guilty to three felony charges: two counts of failure to comply with the orders of a police officer for participating in the ride, and one of receiving stolen property filed because Hall was riding a stolen four-wheeler in a separate incident in August.

Some of the riders were seen doing “wheelies” and taking up all lanes of travel, including lanes coming in the opposite direction on Youngstown Road, and refusing to stop for police with lights and sirens activated, police said.

A judge also took his driver’s license for three years and placed him on five years’ probation.

The most recent charges stem from allegations that he received a firearm or other items related to firearms that had been stolen from a home on Westover Drive Southeast in Howland on Jan. 30. Hall has been in the county jail since Jan. 31 on the new charges and a probation violation.
