LISBON — A Toronto man accused of assaulting another man in Yellow Creek Township after illegally entering the residence was one of 18 defendants openly indicted by the Columbiana County Grand Jury.

The grand jury met for two days this week examining 52 witnesses covering 49 cases, then issuing 18 open indictments, 28 secret indictments and three no bills on Wednesday.

Secret indictments aren’t revealed until the defendant is served with the paperwork. A no bill means the grand jury chose not to indict the defendant in question for the charge presented.

Eugene Arcuragi, 70, Toronto, was charged with first-degree felony aggravated burglary and felonious assault, a second-degree felony.
