BOARDMAN — A township man faces numerous charges after police said he assaulted and stole money from his ex-girlfriend Saturday.

According to police reports, David Griffin, 32, entered the victim’s room at the Boardman Inn on Market Street and stole $272 to purchase heroin, the victim told police.

When Griffin returned, he demanded more money and pushed her into a wall when she said she didn’t have any.
