LISBON -- A man who injured three Salem police officers and an EMT during a fight July 30, 2023 in Salem entered guilty pleas to felonious assault, a first-degree felony, three counts of fourth-degree felony assault and misdemeanor resisting arrest.
Joshua Jesiolowski, 32, Stratton Road, Salem, pleaded guilty to the charges recently in Columbiana County Common Pleas Court, with sentencing set for June 27. His bond remained set at $150,000 cash or surety.
Jesiolowski was found competent and sane after recent evaluations, with one of the evaluators saying "at the time of the offenses charged he knew the wrongfulness of his actions."
A charge of disorderly conduct will likely be dismissed.
The felonious assault resulted from Jesiolowski allegedly causing serious physical harm to Salem Police Sgt. Brandon Smith, who was hospitalized at the time because of the defendant's alleged violent behavior and actions.
The three assaults on peace officers resulted from Jesiolowski allegedly striking Salem Patrolman Doug Osberg in the face while impaired by drugs, causing physical harm and a cut to the face, along with striking EMT Alan Masters in the head in the back of an ambulance and causing serious physical harm to Salem Patrolman Cody Ray by kicking him and fighting him, injuring his back and causing him to be hospitalized.
