Man pleads not guilty to traffic charges

WARREN

Billy Ray Lyons, 19, of Flower Street Northwest, pleaded not guilty Wednesday in Warren Municipal Court to charges of reckless operation, driving without a license, resisting arrest, menacing and disorderly conduct after being arrested Tuesday, accused of driving a four-wheeler on the street. He was released Tuesday evening after posting bond.

Police said they stopped Lyons and another person at 3:03 p.m. for driving four-wheelers recklessly on the street. Lyons was yelling profanities at police while they waited for a tow truck to take the vehicles away.

Later Lyons yelled that officers “better watch out if we go to his residence because his uncle has a [carrying concealed weapons license] and it’s private property.” He pulled away as officers took him into custody.

There was no mention of charges being filed against the other rider.
