A Youngstown man responsible for two murders and a New Year's Day police standoff could be in trouble again.

Thirty-four-year-old Jermaine McKinney called 21 News on Sunday after allegedly taking an Ohio Corrections guard hostage.

Jermaine "Maniac" McKinney is serving two life sentences without parole at the Mansfield Correctional Institution on charges of aggravated murder, kidnapping, arson, robbery, burglary and assault.

He was convicted of the December 2005 double murders of 43-year-old Rebecca Cliburn and her mother 70-year-old Wanda Rollyson.

Witnesses testified McKinney shot Rollyson in the head twice and bludgeoned Cliburn to death

At 3:30 p.m. Sunday, McKinney called the 21 News room from prison telling reporter Janet Rogers his name and why he was in prison.

“Murder, robbery, burglary, kidnapping. My nickname, they call me maniac. I got convicted of murder in 2006 double homicide in Newton Township,” McKinney told Rogers.

McKinney used bleach to help cover his crime, burned the bodies of his victims and collected all but one cigarette butt according to Trumbull Prosecutor Dennis Watkins. 

On New Year’s Day 2006, police tracked down Kinney to a home on Youngstown’s North Side.  After firing several shots at Youngstown Police officers, McKinney surrendered.

Mc Kinney told Janet that he has been seeking answers for ten years and has no money for an attorney or a private investigator and this was his last straw.

McKinney said the wanted to speak with Jazzmine McIver, who testified against him during his 2006 trial.

“I want Jazzmine McIver, Youngstown Police officer Russell Davis, Youngstown Police Captain Barry Findley along with my mother and another relative and attorney in a room together,” said McKinney. “I want to ask Jazzmine and them ten questions a piece. As soon as I ask the questions, Iam coming out of here.”

McKinney told Janet that the corrections officer was safe and he would release him after his questions were answered.

McKinney ended the phone call saying he had to go and needed to call his kids.

He would not reveal what his questions were for the individuals.

The situation at Mansfield Correctional Institute was resolved at about 9 pm.

An official from the Department of Corrections says the inmate and the corrections officer are both okay.

21 News will follow up on this story to find out if McKinney will face additional charges as a result of the Sunday night incident.
