YOUNGSTOWN — Robert E. Wilson III, 35, was arraigned Monday afternoon in Youngstown Municipal Court on two felony weapons offenses and felony obstructing official business in a Sunday morning incident near St. Dominic Church on East Lucius Avenue. Bond was set at $15,000.

Wilson was arraigned on a charge of being a felon in possession of a firearm, carrying concealed weapons and obstructing official business. He returns to court for a preliminary hearing at 9:30 a.m. Monday. He remained in the Mahoning County jail Tuesday afternoon.

Wilson’s charges are related to a 9:26 a.m. Sunday incident while a Youngstown police lieutenant was working security at St. Dominic Church on the South Side.

The officer stated in a report that he spoke with a person who said a church member was harassed by a man wearing tan pants and a white shirt in the parking lot on East Lucius Avenue.

The officer said he also learned the suspect threw a bottle and asked the church member to fight. The person later got a call from the victim, who told him or her that the suspect had returned. The officer drove his cruiser to the location where the suspect was located and activated the cruiser’s lights, but the man fled on foot.

The officer and a second officer followed him and apprehended him after a foot chase. An officer pulled on the hood of his sweatshirt and pulled him onto the ground, the report states. Wilson told the officer he had a handgun in his waistband. The officer put Wilson in handcuffs and secured it, the report states.

Wilson had warrants through Boardman Township and Medina and had been charged twice previously with being a felon in possession of a firearm, the report states.

After Wilson was taken to jail, the officer spoke with the victim, who said the suspect was bothering him and his family. The victim said he asked the man to leave, but the man threw a drink bottle at him and asked him to fight. The victim said he did not “want any problems” but would defend himself. The suspect walked away.
