A Youngstown man will spend more time behind bars after attempting to kidnap a female corrections officer at the Trumbull County Jail.

Judge Ronald J. Rice has sentenced Anthony M. Jackson, 33, to 16 months in prison after Jackson plead guilty to attempted kidnapping and assault of the corrections officer.

He was given 450 days of time already served in jail.

Judge Rice says consecutive sentences were necessary because of the seriousness of the offenses and in order to protect the public because of the conduct of the defendant.

The incident happened in 2022 where Jackson grabbed the officer and attempted to pull her into a cell.
