Martin case moved

BOARDMAN

The case against Dan Martin, a WKBN-TV 27 morning news anchor accused of leaving his infant daughter alone in a running, unlocked car for at least 10 minutes while he went into a store, has been moved to the county juvenile court.

Martin’s misdemeanor child-endangering count was dismissed from the Mahoning County area court in Boardman in favor of the juvenile court, which offers services relevant to children and parenting, said assistant county Prosecutor Michael McBride.

The court on Feb. 10 ordered Martin, 36, to complete a weeks- long parenting education course, said court Administrator Wes Skeels.

Martin is set for a pretrial hearing in juvenile court Wednesday.
