Federal prosecutors say the Warren city auditor has been indicted for sending his former employer an envelope containing white powder in November 2014.
37-year-old Anthony Natale is charged with conveying false information related to use of a weapon of mass destruction. Natale took office in January. An FBI affidavit says an envelope containing health insurance documents for Natale and white powder was mailed to a Youngstown area copying machine business that had fired Natale the previous month. The business was evacuated and a hazardous materials team responded. Tests showed the powder was harmless.
