Assault charges

NILES

Alyssa M. Meckulch, 23, of Liberty was arraigned Thursday in Niles Municipal Court on two counts of felonious assault in a Sept. 1, 2018, fight outside the Bella Napoli Club on East Park Avenue that injured two women. A caller to Niles police said two females were “beating each other up very badly in the parking lot,” and a vehicle left the scene.

No plea was entered Thursday, and Meckulch was released from the Trumbull County jail after posting $10,000 bond.

A police report says a Niles woman, 63, lost consciousness and was taken to St. Elizabeth Youngstown Hospital. Another woman, 57, of Burghill, suffered an apparent minor injury. Meckulch was arrested on a warrant Wednesday in the county courthouse, where she was a grand jury witness, according to a police report.

Cynthia L. Carroll Palmer, 69, of West Park Avenue was bound over to a Trumbull County grand jury in November on two counts of felonious assault in connection with the case, but it is still pending.
