Grand jury indicts ex-Liberty firefighter in drug case

WARREN — Former Liberty Township firefighter Joshua Cleland, 42, was indicted by a Trumbull County grand jury on charges connected to a year-long drug investigation into the fire department.

Cleland, of Warner Road, Vienna, is charged with two felonies: aggravated possession of drugs with specification for forfeiture, and tampering with evidence.

He is also charged with first-degree misdemeanor drug possession.

If found guilty of all charges, he would face a potential maximum of six and a half years in prison.

Cleland’s significant other, Hayley Omar, meanwhile, was indicted on a misdemeanor obstructing official business charge that will be handled in Girard Municipal Court.
