LISBON — A man previously accused of threatening to get in a shootout with police and harassing the Wellsville police department and a local judge was sentenced Tuesday in federal court to 12 months one day in federal prison.

Steven D. Wright, 46, who was listed as homeless, Main Street, Wellsville, pleaded guilty to one count of transmitting a threatening interstate communication in July. The charge resulted from an indictment issued by a federal grand jury earlier this year.

U.S. District Court Judge Bridget Meehan Brennan of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District in Cleveland issued the sentence, ruling that Wright will receive credit for any time served on the offense. She also recommended placement at FCI Elkton, the prison operated by the Federal Bureau of Prisons in Columbiana County. Once he’s released, he’ll be under supervised release for three years.

The sentencing entry outlined all the special conditions of supervised release, including no contact with the victims which include Columbiana County Municipal Court Judge Tim McNicol, Wellsville Police Chief Ed Wilson or Wellsville Patrolman Steven Rodgers.

“The defendant shall not menace, harass, loiter or threaten individuals of law enforcement or law enforcement agencies, or engage in such conduct within 100 yards of the Wellsville Police Department. You must not communicate or otherwise interact with any law enforcement entity for reasons other than legitimate law enforcement purposes, either directly or through someone else,” the judgment said.

Wright is also prohibited from accessing any computer, online computer service, Internet Service Provider, bulletin board system or any other public or private computer network or service at any location without prior written approval of the U.S. Pretrial Services and probation officer or the court. He has to undergo a mental health evaluation and/or participate in a mental health treatment program.

The indictment alleged that Wright “did knowingly and willfully transmit in interstate and foreign commerce a communication containing a threat to injure the person of another, to wit, to get in a shootout with police officers.”

Wright had been charged in Columbiana County Municipal Court with fourth-degree felony improper handling a firearm in a motor vehicle, two counts fifth-degree felony aggravated menacing, and misdemeanors of obstructing official business and two counts of telecommunications harassment.

The cases had been bound over to the county grand jury, but the local cases were dismissed in April due to the federal indictment.

During a preliminary hearing in county Municipal Court in February, Wellsville Police Patrolman Aaron Yourex testified that the police department on Feb. 18 received a call about an alarming video posted on Facebook by Steven Wright, with Yourex identifying him in the courtroom. In the video, he said Wright stated that if a warrant was put out for his arrest, he would have a shootout with the cops. He also commented that the cops think it’s going to blow over, but he has nothing to lose and said “make peace with your God.”

According to his testimony, Wright’s vehicle was usually parked on Main Street, near Ninth Street, about 3 minutes from the police department.

When police officers went to find him, and asked him to exit his vehicle, he allegedly told them they would have to kill him, then after about an hour, he came out.

During a search of his vehicle, a 9 mm handgun was found that would have been within his reach from where he had been sitting, loaded with hollow point bullets and one in the chamber.
