CANFIELD — Six young men involved in a fight at a city residence in February accepted a plea agreement on Wednesday.
Dan McGlone, 18, of Boardman; Matthew McWilson, 18, of Youngstown; Nicholaos Frangopoulos, 18, of Poland; Owen Timlin, 18, of Youngstown; Michael Thomas, 18, of Boardman; and Scott Johnson, 18, of North Jackson; were in Mahoning County Court in Canfield before Judge Scott Hunter.
They were among 10 young men, plus four juveniles, caught on a surveillance camera just before 1 a.m. in a Feb. 22 assault on Michael Malvasi Jr., 18, of Canfield, at his Timber Run Drive home.
The six on Wednesday night pleaded guilty to charges of aggravated trespass; three also pleaded to assault.
The plea agreements centered on lower fines and less jail time, explained Prosecutor Nick Modarelli.

All though Judge Hunter did his usual good job these young men really got a off easy. If the family has money to hire good legal help and they listen and don't say too much things usualy work out. However those with out money and no lawyer are given bonds , not of $75 but up in the thousands they then have to sit in Mahoning County jail where just the bare essentials have to be bought. One or two days maybe OK however 30 or more days is more the norm. Yes--Yes , I know . If you don't do the crime ect. ect. If the person is not a violent offender that posses no threat to the community at large and if destitute or the family is indegent why keep them in jail. Has northeast Ohio so many unused jail cells that have to be filled , the courts can't cut the poor and unlucky a little slack. But what do I know ! ------ I like truck stop restrooms and FOX news.
