Man Accused of Punching His Parole Officer

Canton Stark County Metro Narcotics Unit officers were assisting Ohio Adult Parole Authority agents with a “home visit” at a parolee’s home Monday morning when the parolee punched a parole officer in the head, according to Stark County Jail records. Then he ran away. The officers went after Manranzano K. Grimes, 27, of 739 Ross Ct. NE, arresting him a short time later at 11:35 a.m. Monday. Grimes was jailed on a parole violation and on felony charges of assault, resisting arrest and obstructing official business. Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction records show he was on parole after serving a seven-year prison sentence for felonious assault with a firearm and participating in a criminal gang. Grimes remained in jail Tuesday, held without bond.
