Warren man sentenced to probation after domestic incident

A Warren man will spend the next 4.5 years on probation after being sentenced on three separate dockets recently.

Michael S. Cobb of Warren was sentenced recently in the Court of Common Pleas.

On the first docket, Cobb pleaded guilty to the most serious charge of misdemeanor terroristic threats with intent to terrorize another while a harassment charge and a traffic citation weren’t prosecuted. Cobb was sentenced to two years probation to satisfy his guilty plea.

Cobb had been charged in July 2025 after police responded to a domestic incident. A woman said she and Cobb had been having dinner in Jamestown and, on the way home, Cobb allegedly became upset over a number of issues.

“The victim related Cobb was yelling at her and threatened to drive her down a dirt road and slit her throat,” the affidavit states. “The victim related Cobb became upset after he believed the victim had thrown her engagement ring out the window.”

The woman told police Cobb grabbed her by the back of the head and neck and pushed her against the passenger window of the vehicle. Cobb then allegedly stopped the vehicle near Jackson Run and Matthews Run road, at which point the woman got out and hid in the woods, where she contacted her daughter for a ride.

After the woman returned home, she found Cobb had allegedly broken into her home and taken some of her personal belongings. Warren city police officers responded to the complaint of missing items at 9:03 p.m., when the woman said photo collages of her deceased mother and father had been taken. She said Cobb hadn’t lived in the home for more than a month and didn’t have permission to be in the house.

“While speaking to the victim, Cobb kept calling and text messaging the victim,” the affidavit filed by Warren city police officers states. “Cobb did send a picture message of a fire, stating, ‘It’s a great night for a fire,’ as the victim feared Cobb was burning the photographs.

Cobb had been charged on a docket with first-degree felony burglary, third-degree felony criminal trespassing and theft by unlawful taking. He pleaded guilty to the misdemeanor charge of theft by unlawful taking while the felony charges were not prosecuted. He was sentenced to six months probation, to run consecutively to the first probation sentence.

Cobb was also charged on a third docket with two counts of intimidating a witness/victim false/misleading testimony. He pleaded guilty to one of the counts with the other not prosecuted and was sentenced to two years of probation to run consecutively to the other two sentences.

The only other sentence in the Court of Common Pleas on March 27 involved Hunter E. Greeley who had been charged with DUI/unsafe driving, DUI/BAC .08-.10% and three traffic citations Oct. 7 by the State Police at Warren after an alleged incident Sept. 11 in Tidioute. Greeley pleaded guilty to the DUI charge and was sentenced to six months probation and $300 in fines. The rest of the charges were not prosecuted.
