CRIME NEWS
- ➤ Beaver Township police arrested 53-year-old Justine Bissell on Monday after she stabbed a man with scissors in what she said was self-defense and then kicked and bit officers—she was bonded at $10,000 and now faces charges including felonious assault and domestic violence. WKBN
- ➤ Francisco Gonzalez Lopez was caught during a speeding stop in Poland Township on June 12, pleaded guilty to illegal reentry before U.S. Judge Pamela A. Barker, and will be sentenced on November 24—federal authorities confirmed the case. WKBN
GOVERNMENT NEWS

Trumbull County will meet on August 20 from 10 a.m. to noon at the Western Reserve Independence Living Center in Warren — and Mahoning County will meet on August 21 from 1 to 3 p.m. at Eastgate Regional Council of Governments in Youngstown — with online surveys offered for additional feedback.

He said cutting property taxes is unrealistic because raising other taxes is not allowed—better government efficiency is needed to lower the burden. WKBN

They said they will remain active in the area to keep roads safer. WKBN
- ➤ On Thursday night, the Hubbard Township Board of Trustees met to discuss acquiring 338 acres that include Coalburg Lake up to Stewart-Sharon Road—excluding the dam and its liabilities.
