YOUNGSTOWN — An assistant county prosecutor told Judge John Durkin of Mahoning County Common Pleas Court that the behavior of a Coitsville Township police officer, when the officer chased a man on a moped Aug. 6, 2020, is a reason for the type of plea agreement the man received this week.
Assistant Prosecutor Nick Brevetta told The Vindicator he would not discuss the specifics of the officer’s behavior, but a letter from Youngstown Police Department internal affairs officer Brian Butler sheds some light on it.
