Accused cop-may be in Iraq
WARREN — A city police officer has a felony warrant waiting for him. According to city Assistant Prosecutor Traci Timko Rose, Paul White, 25, has not been served with a warrant on a charge of felonious assault, a second degree felony with a penalty between two to eight years in prison. The prosecutor said it was possible that White was back in Iraq, where he works as an independent contractor with the State Department. “What we are hearing is that he is over in Iraq. He still has an active felony warrant,” Timko Rose said. At 1 a.m. Aug. 9, Blaine Cox Sr., 53, of Judyth Street S.E. was in Blue Magoo’s Tavern on East Market Street when he heard two men talking about the military. When he turned around, he was hit in the head with a bottle, then he was hit again on the back of his head, according to police. Bar owners or bouncers later identified the suspect as White. Cox said he had not said a word to the assailant.
