Judge finds John White violated bond conditions

A judge revoked the bond for John White, who filed to run for Youngstown mayor and faces two felony counts for allegedly causing damage and acting violent at a Liberty house, after finding probable cause that he violated the bond’s terms and conditions.

As part of the terms of his bond, White was to have no contact with his alleged victim – Youngstown Councilwoman Amber White, I-7th Ward. The docket entry from Girard Municipal Court Judge Jeffrey D. Adler doesn’t disclose why he revoked John White’s bond. Court clerks on Thursday said they only knew what was on the court docket entry.

Adler revoked White’s bond – he posted 10% of a $12,500 bond after his May 2 arrest – in a court order at 3:20 p.m. Wednesday. Adler issued a bench warrant ordering White be arrested and sent to Trumbull County jail without bond pending a revocation hearing to be held once the suspect is apprehended.

Liberty police arrested White on May 2 on felony counts of disrupting public service and domestic violence. He was arrested at a house at 1162 Tibbetts Wick Road that he shares with his wife, the alleged victim.

He was arraigned Monday on the two felonies and was scheduled for a preliminary hearing May 14.

In a police report and a 911 call from Amber White, she alleged John White became angry over a May 2 article in The Vindicator that said his eligibility to run as an independent candidate for Youngstown mayor was being questioned.
