A Columbiana man who is a registered sex offender is due in court Thursday to answer claims that he drove 91 miles an hour through the small community of Washingtonville with a car full of juveniles.

A Washingtonville police officer says radar showed 26-year-old Antonio DeLeon driving a Cadillac CTS 56 miles per hour over the 35 mph speed limit on State Route 14 Saturday night.

When DeLeon was pulled over, he told the officer he thought he was still on the 55 mph portion of Route 14 outside the village.

Inside DeLeon's car were four teenagers; a boy and a girl, both 14, as well as a 15-year-old girl, and a 16-year-old boy.

According to state records, DeLeon was sentenced to one-and-a-half years in prison and declared to be a Tier One Sex Offender after being convicted of unlawful sexual conduct with a minor in Cuyahoga County.  Those records say the victims were two 14-year-old girls.

DeLeon was arrested and booked into the Mahoning County Jail on charges of child endangering, speeding, and reckless operation.

Washingtonville Police tell 21 News that DeLeon's sex offender information will be presented to the court when he appears on Thursday.
