LISBON -- A man who allegedly arranged for a drug deal with an undercover officer and then rammed the vehicles containing four East Palestine police officers when he arrived appeared for arraignment Monday.
A preliminary hearing was set Aug. 12 in Columbiana County Municipal Court for Micah Ronald Barnes, 27, Pittsburgh, Pa., charged with four counts of felonious assault, a first-degree felony, third-degree felonies of failure to comply and having weapons while under disability and fourth-degree felonies of trafficking in drugs and possessing criminal tools.
According to the police affidavit, Barnes arrived on Feb. 18 in East Palestine after arranging to bring and sell cocaine to the undercover officer using his cell phone to make the arrangements. He was allegedly out delivering narcotics prior to the attempted sale and when he arrived for the delivery, his vehicle was boxed in by three police vehicles.
He backed up and rammed the undercover officer's vehicle in the front, then rammed the vehicle of two more officers, striking the vehicle twice, then struck a marked vehicle of another officer, fleeing the scene, wrecking his vehicle and fleeing on foot, the affidavit said. A loaded 9mm handgun was inside the vehicle and he's allegedly barred from having a weapon due to a previous conviction. Two phones were also in the vehicle used for felony drug transactions. He was located in the woods after fleeing.
Also in county Municipal Court, a preliminary hearing was set Aug. 10 for Dustin James Brooks, 39, Vine Street, East Liverpool, charged with violation of a protection order, a fifth-degree felony, for allegedly entering a protected person's residence without permission, getting into an argument and leaving on July 31 in East Liverpool. He was also fined $200 for two counts of animals running at large/dogs failure to confine for incidents on Jan. 3, 2023 and March 30, 2023 when his dog was running loose and at one point allegedly killed a cat.
Jason Norman Barnes, 38, Canton, was fined $400 and sentenced to 30 days in jail, with 21 days suspended and credit for nine days served, for criminal trespass, a misdemeanor amended from fourth-degree felony burglary, and misdemeanor drug paraphernalia for entering an apartment in East Liverpool on July 23 and attempting to get into a safe. On July 25, he allegedly possessed a cut plastic pen with white residue inside along with other illegal narcotics in East Liverpool.
A pretrial was set Oct. 7 for Shannon M. McCarthy, 31, Commerce Street, Wellsville, charged with domestic violence and endangering children for allegedly cutting a child with a retractable razor while allegedly fake cutting his knee and telling him to tell everybody he fell on glass on May 22 in Wellsville. She was intoxicated at the time, the affidavit said.
