Ex-police chief’s son will be sentenced

YOUNGSTOWN

The son of former city Police Chief Jimmy Hughes is scheduled to be sentenced today in Mahoning County Common Pleas Court.

Jared F. Hughes, 30, faces two felony charges including discharging a firearm on or near prohibited premises and improperly handling a firearm in a motor vehicle, according to a report by 21 WFMJ-TV, The Vindicator’s broadcast partner.

The charges stemmed from a shooting that left an 18-year-old woman with a bullet wound after a bullet pierced her car door.

A 17-year-old female was also in the car at the time.

21 News reported in June that Hughes already has agreed to plead guilty after reaching a deal with the family’s consent.

Mike Yacavone, an assistant county prosecutor, recommended a five-year sentence for Hughes shortly after his indictment.
