YOUNGSTOWN — Police have arrested at least three men on charges of weapons violations in separate incidents since Wednesday.

About 8 p.m. Wednesday, police responded to a home on Greeley Lane on the East Side. A woman told police her grandson was in the basement, drunk and “talking crazy,” according to a police report.

The man refused several attempts by responding officers to get him to come upstairs. He instead told them to “just end it all for him” and he pointed a gun alternately at police and at his own head.

Police requested support from a department hostage negotiator.

The report states that the man surrendered after a “lengthy standoff” and gave his weapons to police before being taken to a local hospital for evaluation. The report does not state that the man was charged with anything, nor do court records indicate any pending cases under his name.

In a separate police report, Miguel Correa Ocana, 40, was arrested Thursday at his home on Emery Avenue for firing his gun into the air instead of fireworks as a Fourth of July celebration.

Police responded to the city’s Shot Spotter alerts and complaints from neighbors.

The report states that when police arrived, Ocana told them he was only shooting off fireworks, but as police began searching the area for signs of fireworks discharge, the man fired shots into the air and police saw him go back into the house to retrieve another magazine.

Police surrounded the house and ordered him out, and he came out holding his hands up. The report states Ocana told police he was doing it because everyone else in the neighborhood was. Police confiscated the .9mm handgun and found 22 spent casings in the yard.

He is due for a hearing Monday in Youngstown Municipal Court on a misdemeanor charge of discharging a firearm within city limits.

Phillip Cox of West Chalmers Avenue was arrested Thursday at his home after threatening another man, using a .9mm and a Daisy BB gun.

The report states the man came over to pick up his female friend because she and Cox were fighting. She told him by phone that Cox had left to go watch fireworks. But when the man got there, Cox was walking back toward the house, saw him and confronted him.

The report states that the woman heard yelling outside and saw the two men arguing, just before Cox came back into the house and grabbed one of his guns. The woman followed him outside and took it off him before he could aim it at the other man.

The woman told police Cox then assaulted her and ran upstairs to hide the guns.

The report states that when police arrived, they also questioned the woman’s daughter, who supported her story, and the girl went upstairs and brought down both guns to hand over to police.

Cox was arrested and charged with assault. Neither county nor city court records provide any information on his case, as of Friday afternoon.
