A longtime Trumbull County Sheriff deputy has been fired, but has found another police job in Newton Falls.
County officials confirmed the termination Thursday of Deputy Dallas Young, who became a deputy in 2007. Young was hired as a corrections officer at the jail in 1997.
A public records request has been made to the county human resources department for Young’s personnel records to find out the reason for his dismissal.
Newton Falls Village Manager David Lynch said Friday that Young was hired as a part-time officer for the village’s department, effective immediately.
Lynch said Young lives in the community and is familiar with the village. He said part-time officers make between $22 and $23 per hour.

Edward L. Wymer, 33, was convicted on a 10-count indictment, charging eight counts of gross sexual imposition and two counts of rape.
The defendant shook his head as the lengthy verdict sheet was read by Common Pleas Judge Ronald J. Rice. He put his head into his hands before being led away in handcuffs by deputies.

WARREN A woman who led law authorities on an extensive chase through Trumbull County last September was given a three-year prison term Thursday.
Quan’nita R. Pruitt, 22, of 738 Southern Blvd. NW, was admonished by Common Pleas Judge Ronald J. Rice as an “absolute threat to society” as he sentenced her to the maximum term.
Rice noted Pruitt had a lengthy criminal record dating back to her theft and truancy charges as a teenager.
Pruitt last month pleaded guilty to a third-degree failure-to-comply with signal or order of a police officer charge.
The defendant, prior to sentencing, apologized to all the law officers involved in the chase and to the public. She said the incident was a “terrible mistake” and she was just scared.

WARREN A Warren man who was convicted of a felony charge connected to a stabbing on Valentine’s Day 2019, was sentenced to three years in prison Thursday after he violated probation from that case.
Patrick L. Custer, 23, of 123 Eighth St. SW, appeared before Common Pleas Judge Ronald J. Rice on Thursday for a probation violation hearing. Custer reportedly violated his probation because he was charged Jan. 7 with domestic violence in Warren Municipal Court. Custer pleaded guilty Jan. 21 to the domestic violence charge and was placed on three years probation and credited for 14 days served in jail, court records show.
