BOARDMAN
A man whose residence was raided by township police over the summer faces eight drug-related charges, according to a police report and court records.
On Tuesday, Michael J. Forgach, 41, was arrested on eight warrants, all on felony-five possession of drugs/drug abuse. According to court records, the charges all stem from a June 23 offense.
On that date, police served a search warrant at Forgach’s Wildwood Drive residence. Police reported finding of drug-related items in the house that included more than 100 capped and uncapped syringes, gray powder, digital scale, cash, cellphones and needles.
Forgach appeared in court for arraignment Tuesday and is scheduled to be back in court Oct. 24, according to court records.
Also arrested on drug-related charges Tuesday was Tevon Mahone, 26, of Charlotte Avenue in Youngstown.
According to a police report, Mahone was pulled over for a traffic stop on West Boulevard about 3:45 p.m. Tuesday.
Police reported that there was probable cause to search the vehicle, leading an officer to pat down Mahone and find six bags of suspected marijuana in his pocket. The marijuana weighed 18 grams, police said.
Police also reported finding a digital scale and plastic container, both containing marijuana residue.
Mahone was cited for a turn-signal violation and arrested on charges of drug trafficking and illegal use or possession of drug paraphernalia. He is scheduled to appear in Mahoning County Area Court here today for arraignment.
