Man accused of trying to run over another man in yard

YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio (WKBN) — A man was charged Tuesday with felonious assault after reports said he tried to run over another man early Monday in the front yard of a home on the West Side.

Robert Ribarin, 40, is expected to be arraigned Wednesday in municipal court. The charge is a second-degree felony.

Ribarin has been in the Mahoning County jail since he was arrested about 1:40 a.m. Sunday on Wesley Avenue after police responded to a fight call.

Reports said a man told police he was standing in his yard when a vehicle in another yard started coming towards him and drove through a yard to try and hit him.

The vehicle backed up several times in the yard to go around a tree in an adjoining yard, reports said the man told police.

The man had been arguing with a woman a couple of days before, and that woman was in a vehicle with Ribarin that was parked nearby. The woman told police that Ribarin had been driving her vehicle because he had a valid driver’s license.
