WARREN — A Youngstown man received a six-month prison sentence on Monday after he was convicted of felony charges connected to a Liberty Township break-in and drug offenses.

Leslie J. Tate Jr., 35, of North Belle Vista Avenue, appeared before visiting Judge Gary Yost in Trumbull County Common Pleas Court to plead guilty to four fifth-degree felonies: possession of cocaine, aggravated possession of drugs, possession of criminal tools and breaking and entering.

His six-month sentence will be serve consecutively to a one-year prison sentence Tate received on Aug. 12 from Judge Ronald J. Rice for another breaking and entering conviction in connection to a Aug. 30, 2021, case investigated by Girard police.

The latest case, according to prosecutors, involved an investigation by Liberty police where Tate was among those who overdosed March 26, 2021, at a township location. Tate was found in possession of small amounts of methamphetamine and cocaine. The other charges dealt with an Oct. 4, 2021, incident at a Belmont Avenue address where police found that a man, later identified as Tate, had crawled under a vehicle to remove a catalytic converter.

Yost ordered Tate to pay the owner of the vehicle some $1,691 as restitution for the stolen catalytic converter.

As part of the plea deal, four charges — including another drug possession plus a felony vandalism charge, along with misdemeanor petty theft and possession drug paraphernalia charges, were dismissed.

In another plea hearing Monday in a drug abuse case, Katie Davison, 40, of Bishop Road, Leavittsburg, pleaded guilty to an aggravated possession of drugs charge. Davison, who faces a possible six to 12-month prison system, will be sentenced after she undergoes a background investigation conducted by probation officers.

Davison was arrested April 14, 2021, by Newton Falls police after a traffic stop. Prosecutors said police found 2.48 grams of a substance that later tested positive for methamphetamine in Davison’s possession.

She was freed on a court pre-trial program where she has to report periodically for drug testing by probation officers.
