BOARDMAN — Two local men are facing misdemeanor charges for allegedly causing mayhem in early Saturday morning.

Court records show Paul Andrew Prozy, 20 of Arlene Avenue, is due in Mahoning County Boardman Court today on charges of OVI, a first-degree misdemeanor; criminal damaging or endangering, a second-degree misdemeanor; and open container, a minor misdemeanor. Robert John Laible, 20, of Meadowbrook Avenue, is also due in court, charged with criminal damaging or endangering.

The police report states officers received multiple calls from residents on Argyle Avenue just before 4 a.m. Saturday about two men in a white truck doing burn-outs in a parking lot, driving recklessly through yards and speeding up and down the road.

One caller told police just after 4 a.m. that the truck was leaving the neighborhood and was headed toward Afton Avenue, which is one block over.

The report states a police officer found a truck matching the description in an Afton Avenue driveway, still running with the lights on. Another unit responded to provide backup.

The driver, who identified himself as Prozy, told police that he had not been on Argyle Avenue that day and tried to blame his brother for using the truck, saying his brother had been picked up from Argyle Avenue, the report states.

Officers observed Prozy to have red, glassy eyes, slurred speech (and overly talkative) and detected a strong odor of alcohol coming from him. They also saw several opened cans of beer in the truck. They observed Laible to be at least as intoxicated as Prozy, if not more so, and he was unable to explain how they arrived where they were.

The report states Prozy also admitted to having three drinks at a Boardman bar. When they looked in his wallet, they found a Pennsylvania driver’s license for another person, who was at least 24 years old. Proxy told police he was holding onto it for that person, and denied using it to get into the bar.

The report states police performed standard field sobriety tests on both men, which they failed.

Police also observed “heavy fresh dirt and mud” on the truck that appeared to be consistent with recently driving through yards. Both men were arrested.

Court records show that Prozy is already known to law enforcement.

In February, after an arrest in Boardman, a charge of improper handling of a firearm in a motor vehicle, a fourth-degree felony, was dismissed, while he pleaded guilty to aggravated menacing, a first-degree misdemeanor. He also pleaded guilty in a separate case in February to a charge of

texting while driving.

Records show this is Laible’s first offense in Mahoning County.
