YOUNGSTOWN — Gregory Barnhart of Bristolville, charged with operating a motor vehicle impaired following a Friday crash on Interstate 76 about two weeks after being involved in a double-fatal crash not far away, is in the Mahoning County jail.

Barnhart, 33, of Miller South Road, was taken into custody as a result of a parole violation, according to Mahoning County jail records.

Barnhart is on parole after being released from prison recently on 2014 burglaries in Bazetta and Champion townships and Warren, and three drug charges — for which he was sentenced to five years in prison in February 2015.

The Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Corrections website says Barnhart also was sentenced on one count of possessing criminal tools and one attempted weapons charge.

Barnhart has a hearing Wednesday in Mahoning County Area Court in Austintown on Friday morning’s OVI, but he has not been charged in the double fatal, as the Ohio State Highway Patrol awaits toxicology results from that Sept. 28 crash.

Barnhart showed signs of impairment in that crash as well, a highway patrol accident report says.

In one of his burglary convictions, Barnhart was arrested after being found in the basement of a home on Meadowbrook Avenue SE in Warren at about 5:20 a.m. June 6, 2014, after a neighbor called police to report hearing noises.

Barnhart was wearing cloth gloves and had a screwdriver in his pocket when he was found in the home’s basement. The back door of the home had been kicked in, and two televisions had been moved — one from the mantle in the living room, another one apparently from an upstairs bedroom.

Another of Barnhart’s convictions was from a Dec. 10, 2014, break-in at a home on North Park Avenue in Champion, where a door was kicked in and a television was missing from the living room. A shotgun, cash, silverware and jewelry were missing.

The home had a security system that showed a green Chevrolet TrailBlazer being parked near the home’s garage with a male coming in and out of the house several times carrying items, including a television and gun case. A Bazetta officer and sheriff’s deputy both suspected Barnhart as the perpetrator because Barnhart owned a dark green TrailBlazer and the suspect in the video “looked like him,” a police report said.
