WARREN — A Liberty trustee accused of assaulting a woman last fall was indicted Thursday after the case had been continued several times during Trumbull County grand jury sessions.

Devon Stanley, a Liberty trustee, Girard Municipal Court prosecutor and the county’s deputy clerk of courts, as well as a candidate in May’s common pleas court judge race, was indicted on a second-degree felonious assault charge.

The charge is in connection to an Oct. 23, 2025 incident. A Niles police captain was contacted by a Trumbull County Children’s Services Board representative, who was told that a referral was made to them about a woman who was involved in a domestic violence altercation that afternoon.

Officers working security detail at an Oct. 24 Niles High School football game with Girard arrested Stanley.
