YOUNGSTOWN — The Youngstown Police Department was involved in the Wednesday arrest of a man suspected of robbing a New Castle, Pa., bank earlier that day.

A Youngstown police report states that about 11 a.m. Wednesday, officers arrived at Frazier’s Tree Service at 2122 E. High Street on Youngstown’s East Side after one of the officers “observed the vehicle used in the commission of the bank robbery after receiving a (lookout notification) from the Lawrence County dispatch center giving the Ohio Registration PMH4301,” which was registered to the address for Frazier’s Tree Service.

The officers were at the business from about 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. but did not see any sign of the suspect, who employees of the business said was seen getting into the vehicle that morning, the report states. He was seen on the business surveillance system, the report notes.

The suspect was currently being housed at the Community Corrections Association for an aggravated robbery pending the start of parole in October.

Youngstown officers went to CCA at 1806 Market St. about 5 p.m. and spoke with the suspect about the bank robbery in the New Castle, Pa., area about 9:30 a.m. Wednesday.

While being questioned, the suspect said he left CCA about 10:30 a.m. Wednesday to go to work at Frazier’s Tree Service and was working in the back parking lot and was back and forth from the parking lot to the wood line dragging brush to burn into the woods from about 10:45 a.m. until about 1 p.m. He said he also was in that area looking for the cell phone he had lost during work, the report states.

An FBI special agent arrived during the interview, the report states. The report also notes that because one of the officers was at Frazier’s Tree Service for about two hours conducting an investigation in the parking lot with a clear view of the wood line and back lot where the suspect said he was working at the time and did not seeing him there, the officer said he advised the suspect he was under arrest for obstructing official business and was taken to the Mahoning County jail.

The suspect was in the Mahoning County jail on Thursday, according to a mug shot and a page on the jail web site. It states that the man, 63, was being detained by the FBI and on an Ohio charge of obstructing official business. He was booked into the jail Thursday, the page states.

The man does not have any new charges in Youngstown Municipal Court, however, and the man is not named in any news media coverage in connection to the 9:30 a.m. robbery of the Huntington Bank branch on Wilmington Road at Maitland Lane in Neshannock Township near New Castle, Pa.

Neshannock Police Chief John Rand confirmed the bank had been robbed but provided no further details, according to the New Castle News. The report stated that no one was injured in the robbery.

The story stated that the suspect was reportedly driving a GMC pickup truck with a tan cab, white bed and an Ohio license plate, the story states.
