An Akron man was indicted by the Washington County Grand Jury this week on charges of aggravated possession of drugs and tampering with evidence.
Javon L. Wilson, 30, of 215 E. Spring Court, was arrested after a traffic stop Oct. 7 on Interstate 77 near milepost 13 in Aurelius Township.
Washington County Assistant Prosecutor James Schneider said Wilson was following another vehicle too close, went to pass them without using a turn signal, and then drove back in front of the other vehicle, causing them to hit their brakes.
He was pulled over and law enforcement learned there was a warrant from Summit County for domestic violence.
