YOUNGSTOWN — Jammie Traylor was convicted of violating a city ordinance against having vicious dogs at large more than two years ago but he began serving the 84-day remainder of his 90-day jail sentence today.

Traylor, 21, of Youngstown, appeared before Judge Elizabeth A. Kobly of Youngstown Municipal Court a second time to be sentenced on charges related to an attack by two dogs in his care in April 2007. He had been convicted of harboring a vicious dog and having a dog at large, both misdemeanors, in 2007.

Judge Kobly reimposed the same sentence given to Traylor in 2007 — a fine of $750, 90 days in jail and two years’ probation during which Traylor cannot own any dog larger than a small chihuahua. Traylor served six days in jail in 2007 before appealing his conviction and will be given credit for those six days.
