Man gets loitering charge in Perkins Park

WARREN — Dwane H. Boggs, 60, of Meadowbrook Avenue Southeast was charged with loitering to engage in solicitation Friday on Mahoning Avenue Northwest.

Police were called to Perkins Park for a woman who said a man had tried to hit her with his pickup truck.

Boggs was located in his vehicle at Mahoning Avenue and Monroe Street Northwest. He denied trying to hit anyone but admitted he had picked up a female and took her to the park because she flagged him down and offered sex for money.

Boggs was released at the scene and is scheduled to be arraigned Monday in Warren Municipal Court.
