WARREN ä Robert Burkey, 23, and Juchard Duncan, 25, the men accused of firing three shots at the Pit Stop last month, appeared in Warren Municipal Court Thursday for a pre-trial hearing before Judge Terry Ivanchak.
Burkey, 1641 Mayfield Ave. in Youngstown, was bound over to the Trumbull County Common Pleas Court on a felony charge of having weapons under disability, a charge of felonious assault was dismissed, as were some misdemeanor offenses associated with the incident. Burkey remains in county jail.
Duncan, 2263 Brier St. S.E. in Warren, also held at the jail, was bound over on a felony failure to comply with the orders of a police officer charge. Another felony charge, receiving stolen property, and a misdemeanor resisting arrest charge were dismissed.
Lt. Martin Gargas was on patrol March 24 when he saw a man get out of a vehicle, fire three shots at the gas station and convenience store, and get back in the vehicle, which took off.
Gargas gave chase. The two men abandoned the vehicle, which was determined to be stolen, on Thomas Road S.E. and ran about 150 yards into the woods.
Police officers descended upon the area and found them hiding inside an abandoned factory, the former Design Coating Systems, at 1500 Milton St.
