BOARDMAN — A man wanted for domestic violence and two felony charges has been arrested, nearly three months after charges against him were dropped and then re-filed.

A Boardman police report states that charges against Brandon Michael Dennison, 36, of Warren, were dropped days after the initial incident in late May for lack of evidence, but he was arrested again Wednesday at the Trumbull County jail after being picked up on Boardman’s warrant.

Dennison was set for an initial appearance Thursday afternoon in Mahoning County Boardman Court on charges of strangulation and disrupting public services, fourth-degree felonies, and domestic violence, a first-degree misdemeanor. Online court records did not reflect the outcome of that hearing at the close of business.

The report states that police were called to an apartment building in the 5000 block of Aravesta Avenue just after 6 p.m. on May 28. A woman there told police that Dennison, then her live-in boyfriend, had shoved her into a shoe rack in the living room after she asked him about some cash that was missing.

She told police that he repeatedly shoved her and then hit her hard in the face, and took her phone from her to prevent her from calling 911. The woman said she was able to get to a neighboring apartment to call for help.

The report states that police noted the woman had injuries that supported her statements.

Dennison was found on LeMans Drive, in possession of the woman’s phone, and arrested. However, on June 3, the case against him was dismissed “due to there being insufficient evidence at that time to support a prima facie case.” The term prima facie means that the case has merit at face value when presented to a court.

The report states that Boardman police reopened the case after a review by the Mahoning County Prosecutor’s Office and warrants were issued for Dennison’s arrest on those charges on June 13.

In July, Dennison pleaded guilty to charges of domestic violence and petty theft in Warren Municipal Court and was sentenced to 30 days in jail.

He also has misdemeanor convictions in Warren for drug charges from 2016 and 2019, and disorderly conduct and receiving stolen property in separate cases from 2014.
