Police arrest Youngstown women after dispute over a man

YOUNGSTOWN — A dispute involving a man has left two city women with badly damaged vehicles and a date with a municipal court judge.

Telia Lawson, 31, of Warwick Avenue, and Carshara Bradley, 24, of Randolph Street both pleaded not guilty today in Youngstown Municipal Court to charges of reckless operation and criminal damaging. Future court dates for the women are pending.

Officers found the two women arguing Wednesday evening next to two badly damaged vehicles in the 400 block of Fairgreen Avenue on the city’s North Side.

According to police reports, Lawson’s boyfriend was riding in a car with Bradley when Lawson spotted the pair and began to follow Bradley’s car. Bradley eventually stopped her car so the boyfriend could confront Lawson, reports said.

Bradley, at some point, got into Lawson’s car and drove the vehicle into a tree. Lawson then got into Bradley’s car and drove that vehicle into a tree as well.

Reports say police also found Bradley’s wallet in Lawson’s possession.

The boyfriend was not arrested.
