Girls’ confrontation leads to charge for mom

WARREN

Marlene M. Rodriguez, 40, of Federal Street Northwest pleaded not guilty Monday in Warren Municipal Court to contributing to the delinquency of a minor after police say she drove her daughter and four other girls Saturday to a home on Summit Street Northwest regarding an earlier confrontation.

While there, Rodriguez’s daughter and the other woman’s daughter argued and fought. Police said they found Rodriguez and the girls in a car on Mahoning Avenue after leaving Summit Street.

Rodriguez said she drove the girls to Summit Street to speak with the mother of a girl who had fought with her daughter at Eastwood Mall earlier.

Rodriguez was released from court after signing for a $2,500 personal recognizance bond, meaning she didn’t have to pay anything. The report does not mention any injuries and says an ambulance was not needed.
