Fri. 12:21 p.m.: Man threatening shootout with police captured

HOWLAND – A 43-year-old Muirwoods Road NE resident, who told his sister he would get into a shootout if police were called to their home, was found in the woods behind the property without any weapons by members of the Mahoning Valley Crisis Response team Thursday afternoon.

Matthew C. Curtiss, 500 Muirwoods Road NE., was arrested shortly after 2:30 p.m., when members of the multi- county agency surrounded the residential property after he failed to respond to several efforts made by the township’s police department by cell and house phones.

Curtiss was sent to Heartland Behavior Health for evaluation. Once cleared from that facility, he will be transferred to Trumbull County Jail and scheduled for a court appearance on a domestic violence charge.
