BOARDMAN — A local man with a lengthy criminal history and a reputation for threatening police is back behind bars.

Jeremy Daviduk, 40, of Glenwood Avenue in Boardman, is scheduled for an initial appearance this morning in Mahoning County Boardman Court on felony charges of retaliation and intimidation against a police officer after he was arrested Tuesday on a warrant for failure to appear on other felony charges.

A Boardman police report states that patrolman Evan Beil saw Daviduk walking near the corner of Shields Road and Market Street. Biel wrote that he knew Daviduk was wanted on a warrant issued by Mahoning County Common Pleas Court Judge Maureen Sweeney, and called for backup.

Along with Sgt. Glen Riddle, Beil stopped Daviduk in the parking lot of the Shop’N’Go convenience store. The report states that Daviduk immediately became confrontational and, based on past experience with him — including his tendency to threaten officers — Beil pulled his stun weapon and ordered Daviduk to the ground. They were able to arrest him without further problems.

However, once in the police cruiser, Daviduk allegedly unleashed another tirade of threats against the officers.

“Just wait. … I’m bulletproof, (expletive). I’m gonna beat your (expletive) when I get out of this car… I’m gonna rip your (expletive) head off with my teeth,” he allegedly shouted at Beil and Riddle.

Upon arrival at Mahoning County Jail, he threatened Mahoning County Sheriff’s Office deputies as well, the report states.

As a result, Beil charged him with intimidation and retaliation of a public servant.

“Based on the circumstances, I believe Daviduk is more than capable and willing to carry through with his threats to cause me serious physical harm,” Beil wrote.

Daviduk is wanted on at least two warrants in Mahoning County.

The most recent was issued by Sweeney after Daviduk did not appear in her courtroom for a pretrial hearing Feb. 27. That case, bound over from Mahoning County Austintown Court

in December, stems from a Nov. 2 incident at a Meridian Road gas station, in which Daviduk allegedly attempted to rip a woman’s car keys out of her hand while she pumped gas.

He is charged with robbery and attempted grand theft auto, third- and fifth-degree felonies, respectively. A Mahoning County grand jury indicted him on the charges in January.

In just the past eight years, since July 2017, he has been arrested roughly a dozen times, pleading guilty or no contest to most of the charges filed against him.

A charge of theft filed in Boardman Court by Mercy Health Police in July was dismissed, as was a September 2017 felony charge of receiving stolen property, court records show.

In March 2020, Daviduk pleaded guilty in Mahoning County Austintown Court to one count of criminal trespassing from a January 2020 incident in which he was arrested at a gas station that had banned him. A related charge of resisting arrest was dismissed. When arrested, he claimed he was Simba from Disney’s “The Lion King,” a report states.

The rest of his recent charges are from Boardman.

In November 2020, he pleaded guilty again to criminal trespassing in Austintown, and a separate charge of inducing panic was dismissed.

In January, he was arrested in Boardman on a contempt of court warrant after he failed to appear in August 2024 on a charge of having an open alcohol container in his car.

In June 2022, he pleaded guilty to two counts of theft by deception for a May incident in which he attempted to pass off play money at a local convenience store. He also pleaded guilty to a felony count of obstruction.

In August 2022, he pleaded guilty to a charge of criminal trespassing for a July incident. And in September 2023, he pleaded guilty to a charge of public indecency from July of that year.
