CLOSED: El Patio Motel, on U.S. Route 224, was boarded and padlocked Wednesday by Canfield police. Tenants were cleared out by police after a Mahoning County Common Pleas Court magistrate granted a temporary restraining order to the city, authorizing the business to be closed. Police have investigated repeated reports of criminal activity at the motel.
