A suspended Director of Operation coach for the Youngstown Phantom's hockey team was found guilty of an amended disorderly conduct charge in Columbiana County Municipal Court on Monday. 

Robert Acri, 30, of Canfield, pleaded no contest to the charge of disorderly conduct and was found guilty by Judge Kelly Linger in Columbiana County Municipal Court. The original change of prostitution was amended to disorderly conduct by the state, and the charge of possession of criminal tools was dismissed. 

Acri was fined $250 and forfeited $100 to the Mahoning Valley Human Trafficking Task Force.

On September 20, Robert Acri was arrested in an undercover human trafficking sting in Columbiana County.

According to a criminal complaint, Acri didn’t know he was communicating with an undercover agent when he allegedly offered to pay $100 for sex acts. 

The agent said when Acri showed up in Salem as arranged, he was arrested and booked into the Columbiana County Jail. 

Acri, whose picture and bio have been removed from the Phantom’s website, has been suspended from the team pending an investigation.

Robert Goldman, President of the Youngstown Phantoms, told 21 News that the organization would look into the court ruling before taking its next steps in deciding Acri's future with the organization.
