Kenmore Block Party

YOUNGSTOWN — The fifth annual Kenmore Avenue Block Party will be from 7 to 9 p.m. Wednesday between Hillman Street and Edwards Avenue. The event is free and open to the public, but children must be accompanied by an adult. A bonfire and DJ will be part of the entertainment, and participants can toast marshmallows. A cash prize will go to the winner of the Fear Factor Contest.

Suspect in robberies

WARREN — A 19-year-old man police had been seeking in two robberies here has surrendered and admitted to the crimes, police say. Kristopher Henry, of Stanton Avenue, appeared Monday before municipal Judge Thomas Gysegem, who set bond at $100,000 and a preliminary hearing for Friday. He remains in Trumbull County Jail on two counts of aggravated robbery. He is charged with the Oct. 19 robbery of the Dollar General Store on Parkman Road in which $600 was taken and the Oct. 20 robbery of the BP service station on East Market Street in which the thief took the cash drawer but dropped it when he was fleeing. Detective Wayne Mackey said Henry surrendered last Friday afternoon and told police he wasn't the robber, but later admitted to the heists.

Free hats and gloves

GIRARD — Our Way Home Christian Fellowship, 429 Ohio Ave., will have its annual distribution of hats and gloves from noon to 2 p.m. Saturday. Hats and gloves will be available for infants through adults.

Police seek girl, 16

SALEM — Police are trying to find a 16-year-old girl with cystic fibrosis who left home Saturday afternoon but called her family late Sunday afternoon. Police Chief Robert Floor said Monday it's not clear whether Brenda Tomlin, of Walnut Street, has her medication with her. The call to the family could not be traced. Police are asking anyone with information to call the department.

Vandalism by car

COLUMBIANA — Police said someone damaged about 10 mailboxes, a stop sign and several yards with a car that was rigged with a rock to drive into a tree in Firestone Park. The first damage was reported about 3:30 a.m. Sunday on Duquesne Street. The vandals apparently found a key in a GEO belonging to Karen Witmer of Columbiana. The vandals eventually used a landscaping rock to wedge the accelerator on the car. Police said there was minor damage to the car, and that the stop sign had been bent back into shape.

Man exposes himself

GIRARD — Police are looking for a man believed to have exposed himself and performed a sex act in front of children Saturday afternoon. According to police reports, a city man told police he went to a grocery store on North State Street, leaving his 9-year-old daughter and his sister-in-law, also a juvenile, in the car. The man told officers that, upon leaving the store, he saw a black Chevrolet Lumina with tinted windows speed from the area in which his car was parked. The children, he told police, said a man in the black car sat near them and performed a sex act on himself for several minutes before driving away.

Robbery charges

LIBERTY — A 23-year-old township man is due back in Girard Municipal Court on Wednesday for a preliminary hearing on robbery charges. Jeremy J. Everhart, of Northgate Boulevard, appeared before Judge Michael Bernard for arraignment Monday. He received a $28,000 bond. Everhart is accused of trying to snatch a 55-year-old woman's purse in the parking lot of a grocery store in the 4000 block of Belmont Avenue. Police reports say Everhart and the woman both pulled on the purse until the woman screamed and Everhart ran off. He was later found sitting in his car in the parking lot of a bank on Belmont Avenue.
