Police identify robber

AUSTINTOWN

Township detectives say they’ve identified the man who robbed the Mahoning Avenue McDonald’s restaurant at gunpoint Tuesday morning. Detective Jordan Yacovone said at noon police were seeking warrants to arrest the man. While his name has not been released, he’s considered a “strong” suspect, Yacovone said. He added he expected the man to be in custody later Tuesday or today. Yacovone said the man entered the restaurant just before 8 a.m., pointed a gun at a clerk and demanded money. It’s unclear how much the man took, he said. No injuries were reported.
