Overview
- Devon Stanley remains in the Trumbull County Jail following his arraignment on a second-degree felonious assault charge.
- Police say he was arrested Friday night at the Niles-Girard football game after a call from Trumbull County Children’s Services about an alleged incident the day before.
- In court, the judge read allegations that Stanley repeatedly punched his wife, causing broken ribs, contusions, a head contusion, and a broken nose.
- Girard’s law director said Stanley is not working for the city pending the case, while the Trumbull County Clerk of Courts said he is still being paid for now but administrative leave could be considered.
- Stanley’s attorney called the accusations false and requested bond, noting his local ties and clean record, and the articles note that only a felony conviction would disqualify him from public office under Ohio law.
