Must stay in psych unit


WARREN

Judge Andrew Logan of Trumbull County Common Pleas Court ruled Tuesday that Patrick L. Heltzel, 25, formerly of Warren, must remain in a state psychiatric hospital until his next hearing in two years.

The judge ruled Heltzel not guilty by reason of insanity in June 2016 for the April 2013 killing of Milton Grumbling III, 71, of Kincaid East Road in Warren Township. Heltzel is committed at Heartland Behavioral Healthcare in Massillon.

His privilege level is 4, meaning Heltzel can travel off-campus accompanied by hospital staff.
