Apr 22, 2021 An Akron man reported at 11:05 a.m. Tuesday he was assaulted by a man named Christopher, who he had been hired as a Lyft driver by the man’s grandmother to transport to East Liverpool City Hospital for alcohol rehab. He did not know the man’s last name and he reportedly ran into Hull’s Market after the assault. Deputies went into the store and found a man matching the description inside the beer cooler. The man, identified as Christopher Lunsford of Massillon, was escorted out of the store. Lunsford had become irate when he was denied smoking or vaping in the Lyft vehicle. He then struck the driver in the head several times and ran from the vehicle at the intersection of state Routes 9 and 172. Two witnesses also submitted statements to deputies. Lunsford, 26, was charged with assault.

LISBON Columbiana County Covid-19 cases continued to rise this week with 128 people testing positive since April 9.
Over the past seven days, Laura Fauss, public information officer for the Columbiana County General Health District, said the county averaged 18 new cases per day and there have now been 8,535 cases since the beginning of the pandemic.
One additional death has been added to the county’s total by the Ohio Department of Health, bringing the county toll to 226. There have been two new hospitalizations over the past week.
While the health department and many partners continue to vaccinate people, Fauss reports the number of people seeking the vaccines has slowed. Nearly 31,000 people in the county have now had at least one dose of a vaccine with 23,045 completing both doses. More than 60 percent of all county residents 70 and older have completed the required doses, including nearly 66 percent of those 80 and older.
