City man indicted for his dog's attack on young boy in September

YOUNGSTOWN — A city man will face felony charges related to his dog attacking a 10-year-old boy in the city this summer.

A Mahoning County grand jury today indicted Dustin Anglin, 22, of South Heights Avenue, on charges of failure to control or restrain his dog, a fourth-degree felony which carries a maximum penalty of up to 18 months in prison.

Anglin’s pit bull dog attacked and bit Toris Gonner, 10, of South Heights Avenue Sept. 11.

Gonner was walking to the bus stop with his younger sister 9-year-old Vinnasia McGary. The attack happened as the two children reached the bus stop at the corner of South Heights and Sheridan Road.
