YOUNGSTOWN

A former Youngstown State University assistant softball coach charged with drug trafficking has reached an agreement with prosecutors that may allow her to avoid prison in exchange for some guidance to young people.

Gina L. Rango, 26, of Woodworth Road, North Lima, was indicted and arrested at her residence by the Mahoning Valley Drug Task Force in May. She is free on $2,500 bond. She originally pleaded innocent to four counts of Oxycodone trafficking in Mahoning County Common Pleas Court.

Earlier this week, however, Rango pleaded guilty to the four felony counts as charged. She will be sentenced Dec. 20.
