YOUNGSTOWN — A juvenile boy was taken to the Mahoning County Juvenile Justice Center on a possible aggravated arson charge after he is believed to have tried to set fire to the facility where he was staying on Eastview Avenue Thursday night.

Officers were called to an unspecified address on Eastview for a call about a “resident” “trying to set the building on fire,” according to a Youngstown police report.

The assistant program coordinator told police the boy became upset when he was not able to use theTV remote. He was not allowed to use it because of inappropriate material he put on the TV in the past, the official said.

The officers who responded said their investigation showed that the boy walked out of one building at the facility and went into the administration building through an unlocked rear door and set a drawing on fire that was on notebook paper and was taped to a door.

The officer could still smell the strong odor of smoke in the hallway and paper ashes on the floor, the report states. The fire apparently went out on its own or was extinguished by the time officers arrived because the report does not indicate how it was extinguished.

The juvenile was “standing outside several feet away and “presented no resistance,” the report states. Officers found a lighter in the juvenile’s pocket, and it was taken as evidence.

MAN’S DEATH

A man was found in a room at a facility on Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard on Thursday morning with a serious head wound and later died.

There are no indications of foul play, said Capt. Jason Simon of the Youngstown Police Department.

The man was found at 7:40 a.m. on the floor with a serious head wound with his head near the door to the room near a wall locker, the report states.

Cameras at the facility showed that the man, who had “multiple health issues,” had gone to this room at 6:30 p.m. and only left once to use the restroom for three minutes alone and return to his room.

A person in the room next door reported hearing a noise involving a locker at 8:30 p.m. but did not hear anything else and did not think much of it.

Because of cotton swabs, tissues and blood on the bed and floor of the room officers believed that the man was having a severe nosebleed and was trying to treat it, the report states.

“At some point” the man tried to leave his room again “but fell, striking his head on the bottom corner of the wall locker, causing his injuries,” the report states. The man was “unable to lift himself up and remained in that position for nearly 11 hours being discovered,” the report states.

SHOTS FIRED

Tymere Dubose, 29, was scheduled for arraignment Friday afternoon on a felonious assault charge in a Thursday evening incident in the 200 block of Dupont Street on the North Side in which Dubose is accused of firing a gun.

When officers arrived at the home after a 7:06 p.m. 911 call, they spoke with a woman who said she had gone to stay with a cousin on Dupont Street two days earlier from her home in Farrell, Pa., because of having a fight with Dubose in Farrell and being afraid, according to a Youngstown police report.

The woman said she and Dubose had been communicating by text and Dubose found out she was staying on the city’s North Side.

She said they argued, and he told her to come outside. When she did, she said she saw Dubose in a white Pontiac. Then he fired one or two gunshots at her and drove away..

The woman showed a text message Dubose wrote that said, “haha now I shot at you.”

She said she and Dubose had been living together for the past year.

The dispatch center got a call from someone saying he was Dubose, so officers went to Saranac Avenue, and Dubose was taken into custody. He was then taken to the Mahoning County jail.

A gunshot residue test was performed on Dubose at the jail. No bullet shell casings were found in the area where the woman said Dubose fired the gun, and no bullet damage was found in that area, the report states.
