Man remains jailed in dog attack case

YOUNGSTOWN — The alleged owner of a pit bull dog that attacked a 10-year-old boy at a bus stop Friday is still being held in the Mahoning County jail on a $27,500 bond.

Dustin Anglin, 22, of South Heights Avenue, appeared Monday morning via video from the jail for arraignment before Judge Elizabeth Kobly in Youngstown Municipal Court.

Anglin is charged with misdemeanor obstruction of justice, harboring a vicious dog and a prohibition against owning pit bulls. He is also facing a felony charge of not properly confining or restraining a vicious dog that has caused physical harm. Judge Kobly set his bond at $27,500 collectively on those charges.

He pleaded innocent to the misdemeanor charges; no plea was entered for the felony.

Anglin also had to answer to the judge for a pending assault charge for which he failed to show in court in July. Bond on that charge was previously set at $5,000 by Judge Robert Douglas of municipal court.
