WARREN Former Liberty Township firefighter Joshua Cleland, 42, was indicted by a Trumbull County grand jury on charges connected to a year-long drug investigation into the fire department.
Cleland, of Warner Road, Vienna, is charged with two felonies: aggravated possession of drugs with specification for forfeiture, and tampering with evidence.
He is also charged with first-degree misdemeanor drug possession.
If found guilty of all charges, he would face a potential maximum of six and a half years in prison.
Cleland’s significant other, Hayley Omar, meanwhile, was indicted on a misdemeanor obstructing official business charge that will be handled in Girard Municipal Court.
