YOUNGSTOWN — Three men were indicted Thursday on several high-level felony charges and gun specifications in a July 31 incident in which they are accused of kidnapping two men and assaulting a woman.

Indicted are Corey R. Council, 34, of the Mahoning County jail; Robert L. Ervin, 35, of the Mahoning County jail and Terrence A. Machen, 32, of Volney Road.

Each faces charges of aggravated robbery with a specification that a firearm was used in commission of a crime, two counts of felonious assault with firearm specifications and two counts of kidnapping with firearm specifications.

Ervin and Machen each additionally face a charge of having weapons while not allowed because of a prior felony conviction.

Police reports state that officers were called at 12:34 p.m. July 31 to Cassius Avenue and McGuffey Road on the East Side for a crash involving a white Transit van that may have been connected to a call about 14 minutes earlier on Thurber Lane on the West Side.

A man with the Transit van said he was a victim of a kidnapping on Thurber earlier. He said three men wearing black masks grabbed him. Another man came out of a Kia automobile on Thurber, and he was assaulted several times. He said he and the other man were thrown into the Transit van. He said at some point, he was able to grab the wheel of the Transit van, causing it to crash.

He fought with one of the assailants, who had a box cutter, and the victim was cut on the hand. The assailant ran from the van. He was taken to St. Elizabeth Youngstown Hospital for treatment, and the Transit van was towed for investigation.

Officers had gone to the 2200 block of Thurber Lane at 12:21 p.m. and spoken with a woman who said she had partied that night with two men, one of them her boyfriend, and when they arrived at her home on Thurber, men got out of a Transit van wearing masks, and one of them had a gun.

They threw her to the ground and struck her in the head with a firearm, she said. She heard the people in the Transit van leave, and the two men she was with were gone.

The woman described partying with her boyfriend and the other alleged victim at several locations around the Youngstown area that night and being attacked at her home at the end of the night.

Police also were called to Edwards Street that night, where the other alleged male victim was found with a severe head wound. He was take to the hospital and was deemed to be in stable condition.

The man said four men got out of the Transit van on Thurber, grabbed him, put a bag over his head, tied him up and put him in the Transit van. He said eventually the men dumped him out at an unknown location with the bag still over his head and his hands still tied. He asked people in a home on Edwards for help, and they called 911.
