Accused of groping

WARREN

A 43-year-old Warren man appeared in Warren Municipal Court this week on a charge of sexual imposition after being accused of groping a female patron at the Burger King, 161 Main Ave. SW, about 10:35 a.m. Saturday.

Earl L. Freeman, of Edgehill Avenue, is being held without bond in the Trumbull County jail until his next scheduled court appearance Jan. 15.

The restaurant manager called police to report a man, who refused to leave when asked, was harassing a female customer with unwanted attention. While police were questioning witnesses, the suspect left Burger King but was arrested by officers about a block away in front of the Reeves Apartments on West Market Street.
