Facing vandalism count

BOARDMAN

A woman’s alleged attempt to make her eviction memorable for her landlord resulted in her arrest.

Brittany Cook, 24, of Cook Avenue faces one count of vandalism. In April, the landlord of her Bonnie Place apartment told police he had a verbal altercation with Cook when he issued her an eviction notice.

After Cook left, he found things in the apartment missing, the doorknobs greased, the dead-bolt lock changed, carpet damaged with “soap and assorted sauces,” a phone jack plastered over, holes punched in doors and a clogged toilet, according to a police report. Officers also observed graffiti in the bedroom that referenced smashing the landlord’s face. The landlord estimated the damage totaled about $3,000.

Cook has a preliminary hearing July 3 in Mahoning County Area Court.

Mom, child hurt in crash

YOUNGSTOWN

A mother and her 2-year-old child were sent to an area hospital after a second rollover crash in Youngstown, according to 21 WFMJ-TV, The Vindicator’s broadcast partner.

Just moments after Youngs-town police and fire crews were called to a rollover accident on Interstate 680, a second call came across for a minivan that had flipped over near the intersection of Glenwood and West Warren Avenue on the South Side. Officials on scene say it appears the van hit a tree and flipped onto its side.

Emergency crews said a mother and her child inside were both taken to a hospital to be checked out. The crash is still under investigation.

Facing assault charge

WARREN

Myles A. Seybert, 46, of South Market Street, Girard, was indicted this week on a felonious assault charge, accused of striking a man with a baseball bat multiple times March 31 at the victim’s home. A Girard police report says Seybert told police he and the victim, whom he met a week earlier, had been drinking at Seybert’s home, but at some point Seybert refused to give the victim more alcohol and asked him to leave. The assault happened after that, police said.
