| WARREN — A Mahoning County Sheriff’s Department
corrections officer who is also a Braceville Township police officer was
arrested Friday in the ongoing investigation of heroin distribution in
Trumbull County.
The suspect, Ryan Freeman, 30, of Front Street S.W., was taken into custody
at his home by officers of the Trumbull-Ashtabula-Geauga Law Enforcement
Task Force. He is charged with unauthorized use of the Ohio Law Enforcement
Gateway, a fifth-degree felony, and obstruction of justice, a third-degree
felony.
TAG investigators removed a computer, monitor, desktop printer and a boost
mobile phone from the home. They also confiscated uniform items, a police
radio, identification cards and keys, all property of Braceville Township,
and a Glock firearm, property of the Mahoning County Sheriff’s Department.
Last weekend, TAG investigators searched other homes and recovered 419 grams
of heroin, a Glock semi-automatic firearm, 22-caliber and 38-caliber
handguns, powder cocaine, cash, ammunition, and other items.
