Six sentenced in separate cases
24.5 years in all handed out
WARREN — Six people were sentenced this week to a total of nearly 25 years in prison for various convictions, according to the Trumbull County Prosecutor’s Office.
Trumbull County Common Pleas Judge Ronald Rice sentenced the following individuals:
• David Boss, 35, of Highland Avenue SW, Warren, received a 30-month prison sentence after violating probation for a 2024 failure-to-comply conviction. The judge stated Boss committed the same offense while on probation and cited his extensive criminal history in issuing the prison term.
He was charged with one count of failure to comply with an order or signal of a police officer and two counts of endangering children, both felonies, following a March 19 police chase in Warren. Court records show Boss has prior criminal convictions. Deeming him a flight risk, Warren Municipal Court Judge Patty Knepp ordered him to jail with no bond, according to court records at the time.
According to a Warren police report, the chase occurred about 4:23 p.m. March 19 near the intersection of Oak Street NW and Highland Avenue SW. The officer stated a green Pontiac G6 was traveling at 54 mph in a 25 mph zone. The vehicle crossed a double yellow line, entered a turn lane and turned aggressively onto Highland.
The officer said emergency lights and siren were activated to initiate a traffic stop, but the Pontiac accelerated.
It reportedly passed other vehicles in a no-passing zone before turning into a driveway in the 500 block of Highland Avenue, the report stated.
The driver, later identified as Boss, and a female passenger exited the vehicle and attempted to flee into the house. Officers said they detained the woman, while another officer ordered the man to surrender. Police said the man initially refused.
“I can’t go back to jail,” the man said before being apprehended.
Boss told officers he was aware he was driving without a license and feared returning to jail. He said he had been warned by a judge that he could face a 36-month prison sentence if he was arrested again.
Two children were in the vehicle at the time.
The man said he was worried they would get hurt, but he was overwhelmed and scared, the officer wrote in the report.
The man was then transported to the jail but was later taken to St. Joseph Warren Hospital after complaining of leg pain. Medical staff later cleared him for incarceration.
In addition to the felony charges, Boss was issued traffic citations dealing with speeding, driving under suspension, operating outside marked lanes and unsafe passing.
The Pontiac was impounded and towed to the Warren Police Department impound lot.
* Javontai L. Harris, 25, of Sweetbrier Drive SW, Warren, was sentenced to 30 months in prison after pleading guilty to a charge of failure to comply with order / signal of police officer, a third-degree felony. He also received a three-year driver’s license suspension. Harris was arrested by Warren police on Aug. 24, after leading authorities on a high-speed chase.
* Stephen I. Zooberg, 38, of Mansell Drive, Liberty, was sentenced to 18 months in prison after he admitted to violating probation for a failure to register change of address felony conviction in 2024. A convicted sex offender, authorities stated he had been sentenced to incarceration for a Mahoning County offense and was involved in a recent incident involving juveniles at the Great Northern Mall in the west Cleveland suburbs.
* Nashaun C. Boomer, 41, Arthur Drive, Warren, was sentenced to an aggregate 18-month prison term after being convicted of two counts of OVI. The case involved an April 6, 2025, arrest by Warren police. Boomer was also convicted on a repeat OVI offender specification that contains a mandatory one-year prison sentence. He was also fined $1,350 and agreed to pay $1,000 in lieu of a vehicle forfeiture. His driver’s license was suspended for three years, and he will serve three-years of probation after serving his prison term.
* Kaitlyn Bosak, 30, Bingham Avenue NW, Warren, was sentenced to an aggregate prison sentence of seven-to-nine years in prison after pleading guilty last month to indicted charges of aggravated burglary, aggravated robbery and kidnapping, all with a third firearm specification, tampering with evidence, receiving stolen property, grand theft and theft. The case involved a burglary plus other offenses that took place in Liberty.
* Iyana S. Barlow, 24, of Butler, Pa., pleaded guilty to two counts of aggravated robbery with a three-year gun specification and was sentenced to six-to seven-and-a-half-years in prison. The case involved Barlow meeting two men on social media where she sought to trade sex for firearms and luring the men to Foster Park in Newton Falls in May, where they were robbed by a co-defendant, Dennis Lange, 22, of Warren.
Lange is due in court Wednesday for a final pretrial, court records show.
