Police ID man found in burning car
TweetYOUNGSTOWN — Police have learned the identity of the dead man found in a burning car on the East Side overnight.
According to police reports, the man has been identified as Timothy Phillips, 47, of McGuffey Road. Phillips was found at 2:36 a.m. inside of a burning car in the driveway of his home in the 2700 block of McGuffey Road.
According to police, firefighters were called to the home to extinguish the fire and found the body of the man in the front driver’s seat of the car badly burned. Reports say Phillips’ left arm was in a defensive position as if trying to shield himself from something.
Police spoke with the owner of the 1998 Pontiac Grand Prix in which Phillips was found. The South Side woman told police that Phillips is her uncle and that the car was being driven by him.
Officers also spoke with the man who called 911 to report the fire. The man said he called police as he drove past the address and noticed the car on fire, but did not see anything else.
Police also spoke with a neighbor who said he did not hear anything unusual at the time the burning car was discovered.

A long criminal history and one can only speculate what was going down at 2:30 AM .
SOME OF THE PAST HISTORY

Stan, you showed us one record. I'm not sure what you mean by long criminal record. In this case, the charges were dropped, $409 in court costs were paid, and the matter ended. Maybe if you showed something else it would bring credibility to your argument.
You are right daysleeper, he showed a link to one case, but there are others. just run the search. b&e, driving under susp & felonious assault happened before the one you were linked to. I can vouch for Stan that he doesn't make frivolous posts.

Perhaps you should ask yourself , why would a felon be caught with a gun and have the charges dropped ? In exchange for something ? Did he provide information on others who did him in for it ?
You don't seem to have the ability to analyze the facts . I put up the link to "some of his past history" to see if anyone else would catch on . Maybe you were too busy napping ?
