Warren man pleads not guilty to charges in crash that injured woman
WARREN, Ohio (WKBN) — A Warren man was arraigned on charges stemming from a December crash that sent an 18-year-old woman to the hospital with injuries. Dennis Currey Jr., 23, is charged with OVI and aggravated vehicular assault. According to a report from the Ohio State Highway Patrol, Currey was driving a 2009 Nissan Altima that crashed into the back end of a 2010 Honda Civic, driven by an 18-year-old woman from Southington. The report states that both vehicles were traveling northbound on state Route 11 in Liberty Township on Dec. 26 when the crash occurred. The force of the crash pushed the Civic into the median, and the driver was taken to St. Elizabeth Health Center with what was reported as suspected serious injuries. The Highway Patrol's report states that Currey's blood-alcohol content was .161, double the legal driving limit of .08. A Trumbull County grand jury returned an indictment in the case last month. Currey pleaded not guilty to the charges in Trumbull County Court of Common Pleas on Wednesday, and bond was set at $5,000. Currey is scheduled to appear in court again on July 30.

Felony charged reduced for former Fort Smith city internal auditor hire
FORT SMITH, Ark. (KNWA/KFTA) — The felony charge for a Fort Smith woman recently hired as the city's internal auditor and subsequently fired has been reduced, according to Oklahoma court documents. Rebecca Cowan, 48, was previously accused of felony stalking in Oklahoma. Court documents filed in LeFlore County say on March 15, 2023, a man identified as Cowan's husband received a notification on his phone that there was an Apple AirTag near him. The man went to a friend's house, and they found the tag zip-tied under his truck. Fort Smith human resources director retires amid internal auditor hiring controversy Authorities later found that the AirTag was linked back to Cowan's phone number. The man said he was divorcing Cowan at the time and this was not the first time he had been tracked by her, according to the affidavit. A detective with the LeFlore County Sheriff's Office spoke with Cowan over the phone to get her side of the story. Cowan said she only put an AirTag in her daughter's bag. The detective tried to contact Cowan multiple times two weeks later, but she reportedly did not answer any of the calls, the affidavit said. The husband's friend gave a statement detailing where they found the AirTag and said Cowan had a previous history of stalking. Cowan was arrested in connection with that case in Sebastian County on June 7, 2024, and was transferred to LeFlore County on June 10, 2024. Court records say on May 21, LeFlore County District Attorney Tim Webster filed to dismiss the felony stalking charge and added a misdemeanor violation of the Computer Crimes Act charge.

The Board of Directors appointed Cowan as the city's internal auditor on April 22, and she was set to start on May 27. Days after her hiring, Cowan's stalking charge became public and, on April 24, the board voted in a special meeting to terminate the agreement between Cowan and the city. A statement from a city spokesperson said that the city was aware of media reports concerning Cowan. 'The applicant disclosed references to ongoing legal issues as part of her application materials,' the spokesperson said. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
