U.S. Marshals arrest man wanted for shots fired at woman in Youngstown

YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio (WKBN) — A city man was arrested Tuesday by members of the U.S. Marshals Northern Ohio Fugitive Task Force on charges he fired several rounds last month at a woman he was arguing with and hit her in the head with a chair.

Andrew Smith, 36, was taken into custody at a home in the double-digit block of Hilton Avenue on the South Side on a warrant for a felonious assault charge. He is expected to be arraigned Wednesday in municipal court.

The woman was not hurt in the incident, which reports said happened about 11:40 p.m. Aug. 26 at the same address where Smith was arrested Tuesday.

Reports said officers were already on another call on the street when they received an alert for a gunshot sensor activation. When they went to the area the sensors detected gunfire, they were waived down by a woman in a car who said she was arguing inside the home with Smith when he hit her in the head with a chair.

After he hit her, the woman told police she decided to leave, and as she left, she heard at least two shots.

Police went to the home but could not make contact with Smith, reports said. Reports said police found two .40-caliber shell casings in the driveway.

A warrant was issued Aug. 30 for Smith’s arrest, but he was not found until Tuesday.
