Amanda Brumfield, 23, of 9581 Olde Eight Road, is facing felony drug charges.
According to a police report, a vehicle was stopped at 8:07 p.m. Monday for several traffic violations. When officers were talking with the driver, they noticed he was nervous shaking, breathing heavily and avoiding eye contact.
During the exchange, officers saw the passenger, Brumfield, reaching toward the right side of her body. She was asked for identification but refused.
The driver “gave consent to search his vehicle, but the front seat passenger was being uncooperative and attempted to argue for officers asking for consent to search the vehicle and her person,” the report states.

AUSTINTOWN A Warren man being held in the Mahoning County jail is accused of breaking into his ex-girlfriend’s home.
Thomas Hilty, 35, of 1104 Buena Vista Ave. NE, is charged with burglary.
Officers arrived at a home in the 100 block of Carnegie Avenue about 10:25 p.m. Thursday. A police report states the woman returned to her house about 8:30 p.m. and when she went to throw something away at 10 p.m., she felt cold air and saw a window open a couple of inches. A stopper blocked it from opening entirely.
The open window prompted her to go outside to investigate, and she found footprints in the snow near the window and around her home. Back inside, she found rear-window blinds were broken, the window off the hinges and the screen pushed up.

BOARDMAN For the second year in a row, a Mahoning Valley tradition is canceled because of COVID-19.
Organizers decided to cancel this year’s St. Patrick’s Day Parade in Boardman, said Casey Malone, president of the parade nonprofit.
Multiple factors went into the decision, made Monday evening. Guidelines surrounding COVID-19 contributed, as well as trying to avoid making plans, then undoing them and making refunds.
When the parade organizers canceled last year’s event, Malone said they didn’t think they would have a similar conversation for the 2021 parade.
“I really thought we would be back in order” in terms of the pandemic, which initially is what health officials projected for 2021. “I think a lot of people felt that way, and of course that was not the case.”

AUSTINTOWN A township man will appear Jan. 27 before Judge Scott Hunter following his arrest on a charge of domestic violence threat.
Austintown officers were called to 1633 Moorefield Road about 9 p.m. Monday and were greeted by two children, who told them to run upstairs. There, officers found Steven Moses, 33, of Austintown, fighting with another teenager and a woman, according to a report.
The report indicates the bedroom was destroyed with a dresser knocked over, the contents spilled and holes in it. There was also a hole in the wall and a shattered television on the floor.
Moses, who police noted was intoxicated, said he confronted the woman about cheating and was jumped by other family members. The woman, however, said Moses took her phone and became angry about text messages. While arguing, he punched a hole in the wall.
