HERMITAGE, Pa. - A woman fed up with obscene phone
calls tracked down the offender and cornered him as he
made yet another call from a public phone booth,
police said.
The 26-year-old Sharpsville woman received the calls
regularly on Friday and Saturday between midnight and
3 a.m., police said.
The woman, whose identity was not released, had caller
ID and asked the phone company to trace the number,
police said.
The calls were traced to a phone booth in Hermitage,
about two miles away, police said.
The phone company, at her request, forwarded calls on
Friday to her cell phone.
The woman and three of her cousins staked out the
phone booth and around 1:30 a.m., a former neighbor
arrived and made a call, police said. The woman's cell
phone rang, police said.
Family members prevented the man from leaving until
police arrived.
Fred Marini, 43, of Hermitage, was charged Wednesday
with harassment and stalking.
Marini has an unlisted phone number and could not be
reached for comment Thursday.
