WARREN – A man who was revived from an apparent drug overdose while awaiting sentencing last week on burglary charges was sentenced today to nine months behind bars, according to court and jail records.
Chad Decost, 34, Warren, pleaded guilty in April to burglary and possessing criminal tools in connection to a 2019 burglary of firearms from a Warren Township home, according to court records. Two counts of grand theft were dismissed as part of the plea deal, according to prosecutors.
He was scheduled to be sentenced May 4, but a deputy found him “completely unconscious” outside of the courtroom, according to a sheriff’s report. The man was revived with two doses of Narcan and transported to St. Joseph Warren Hospital for treatment.
DEAR EDITOR:
Last month I sought authorization from City Council to apply for a $2.5 million cleanup grant from the state of Ohio. The purpose is for asbestos removal and eventual demolition of a major public safety hazard and eyesore on the city’s northwest side Riverside Square often referred to as former St. Joseph Riverside Hospital.
This letter is to thank those involved in getting us to finally being able to address this significant challenge and to provide historical context on how we got here.
This property, on 13 acres in a residential neighborhood, originally was developed in 1934 with construction of the first building. Major additions from 1942 through 1994 grew to the present size of over 271,000 square feet of floor space, plus 3,000 square feet of utility space. In 1995, Humility of Mary (HM Health Services) began moving operations to Warren General Hospital, now called St. Joseph Warren Hospital, at its present location.
