WARREN -- Three men were sentenced Tuesday on a variety of charges by Trumbull County Common Pleas Court Judge Sarah Kovoor.
They include:
• Ryan W. Francis, 32, of state Route 45, Bristolville, who received a two-year prison sentence after admitting to a probation violation for his felony conviction of a failure to comply with order or signal of police officer. Francis stipulated that a search of his residence by probation officers netted the discovery of two firearms, crossbows and ammunition -- all items he is prohibited from possessing during his term of community control. The original offense in the case took place Feb. 26, 2025, in Warren.
• Darrell Williams, 35, of Tod Avenue, Warren, received one year in prison for convictions of attempted assault and attempted illegal conveyance of drugs into a specified governmental facility, both felonies, and misdemeanor domestic violence. The offenses took place in Warren between March and June 2025. Kovoor cited Williams' previous criminal record of offenses of violence, his three prior prison terms and one term of detention as a juvenile as reasons for him not to be put on probation.
• Christopher Wright, 25, a convicted sex offender from Warren, received an 18-month prison sentence after being convicted of a failure to notify the sheriff of his change of address. The judge noted this was his first sex offender registration offense, in which he left a halfway house to attend his daughter's funeral but did not report to his parole officer afterward. Wright's original sex offense was a four-count gross sexual imposition conviction in 2022 in which he was sentenced to 54 months in prison.
