Woman indicted in telecommunications fraud

Same person involved in Boardman pool controversy

YOUNGSTOWN — Taylor A. Moore, 30, of Glenwood Avenue in Boardman, was indicted Thursday on charges of telecommunications fraud, two counts of theft and one count of theft from a person in a protected class.

She is one of the people involved in a dispute with Boardman Township over a pool party at her home.

The charges, however, are unrelated to the pool controversy. They instead relate to incidents from early 2022 in Austintown.

Moore is accused of operating a store selling furniture, prosecutors said. Investigators received a report of Moore putting items on her web site that were from a store in Liberty, taking the money from the buyers but not delivering the items.

Moore is among three people associated with 8383 Glenwood Ave., where a Memorial Day pool event took place that Boardman officials said resulted in parking problems, noise and trash left behind and a zoning violation.

The township and the three people associated with the house have agreed in a court document that use of the home for large party rentals is not permitted under the R-1A Single Family Residential District zoning resolution. The document is associated with a preliminary injunction Boardman Township sought against Moore and the two other people in Mahoning County Common Pleas Court asking a judge to stop future events.

The township asks that Moore, Michelle Firman and Malcolm A. Carter be prohibited from using the property again as a “Luxury Pool Party Event Center.”

CHURCH THEFT

Also indicted Thursday was Gregory A. Pflug, 51, Birch Trace, Austintown on felony grand theft. He is accused of stealing from a fund at Tabernacle Evangelical Church on South Raccoon Road meant for people in need.

A police report states that a senior member of the church reported that Pflug, while serving as a church deacon, made ATM withdrawals totaling more than $39,000 from the Deacon’s Fund, which was for needy church members.

OTHERS

Also indicted Thursday:

• Raekwon D. Horne, 26, Walter Street, Campbell, fentanyl related compound possession and aggravated drug possession;

• Marvin R. Anthony, 60, Mahoning County jail, failure to comply with the order of a police officer, two counts of receiving stolen property and single counts of obstructing official business, resisting arrest and falsification;

• Ryan O. Brown, 28, Hillman Way, aggravated drug possession with a specification of forfeiture of money in a drug case; drug possession and possessing criminal tools with a specification of forfeiture of property;

• John A. Kearns, 43, Mahoning County jail, obstructing official business, falsification, fentanyl related compound possession and aggravated drug possession;

• Joseph B. Harris, 38, East Marion Avenue, fentanyl related compound possession, cocaine possession and drug possession;

• Mindy E. Gandy, 38, Mahoning County jail, two counts of receiving stolen property and one count of misuse of credit cards;

• Gloria E. Lykens, 33, Millet Avenue, fentanyl related compound possession, aggravated drug possession and escape;

• Dana C. Hall, 36, Mahoning County jail, intimidation, retaliation, criminal trespass and disorderly conduct;

• David M. Liptay 22, Mahoning County jail, receiving stolen property, escape, grand theft of a motor vehicle and obstructing official business;

• Caroline T. Weaver, 22, South Portland Avenue, felonious assault;

• Damondtreas D. Hubbert, 22, Second Street, Girard, failure to comply with the order of a police officer, obstructing official business and failure to stop after an accident;

• Thomas B. Spencer, 41, Lorain Correctional Institution, Grafton, two counts of gross sexual imposition;

• Gerald J. Ihrig, 19, Laurel Avenue, Lake Milton, telecommunications fraud, identity fraud and forgery.
