YOUNGSTOWN — Kiarra X. Jackson of Youngstown was sentenced to two to three years in prison Tuesday after pleading guilty to being a felon in possession of a firearm, aggravated drug possession and violating a protection order in a March 20 incident in Boardman in which she was initially charged with four felonies and four misdemeanors.

Mahoning County Common Pleas Court Judge Maureen Sweeney gave Jackson the sentence jointly recommended by prosecutors and her defense and got credit for 105 days already spent in the Mahoning County jail awaiting trial.

She was initially charged in Mahoning County Area Court in Boardman with the weapons charge and drug charge, plus the protection-order charge, plus a second count of being a felon in possession of a firearm and misdemeanor charges of obstructing official business, possession of drug paraphernalia, driving on a canceled driver’s license and driving on an expired registration.

All of the additional charges were dismissed when her case was bound over to the county grand jury or dismissed as part of her plea agreement.

A Boardman police report states that a police officer made a traffic stop on the Jeep she was driving on Market Street near Terrace Drive because the license plate light did not work.

The officer learned that the registration on the vehicle expired in December 2024. Jackson had pulled the car into the driveway of an address on Terrace Drive. She had a male passenger. Both were “visibly shaking,” the report states. Both had a suspended driver’s license, and Jackson had five active arrest warrants through Youngstown Municipal Court and the county courts for misdemeanor charges, the report states.

When the officer asked Jackson to get out of her car, she said she needed to call her lawyer first. She was warned that she would be charged with obstructing official business if she continued to refuse commands.

She exited, saying she was six months pregnant. She was arrested on her warrants. She refused to sit in the rear of the Boardman police cruiser but eventually complied, then started to make phone calls inside the cruiser. The officer tried to remove it for safety reasons, but Jackson resisted until the officer got it from her, the report states.

The officer worked on his paperwork but heard Jackson talking to someone on her Apple Watch and telling them to come to the scene. The officer told her to give him the Apple Watch but she refused and tucked her arms underneath herself, the report states.

Two officers removed the watch from her wrist. Then an officer saw her open her mouth in an attempt to bite an officer’s hand, but another officer held her head against the back seat and ordered her not to bite, the report states. Officers got her watch off, and she was advised she was now charged with obstructing official business.

Officers called for a tow truck and took Jackson to the Mahoning County jail. While searching the vehicle in preparation to be towed, officers found two glass smoking pipes with burn residue, a digital scale, a loaded handgun and two plastic baggies containing methamphetamine and pills.

At the time of the stop, Jackson had a protection order against her that prohibited her from possessing a firearm, the report states. She was earlier convicted of a low-level-felony burglary, the report notes. She denied that the items found in the car belonged to her.

The report does not indicate that the male in the car was charged with any offenses.
