The new 14,212-square-foot shelter will replace the existing 40-year-old county dog pound on Industrial Road. The new shelter will be able to house between 80 and 90 dogs, compared with the current pound’s capacity of 50 to 60 dogs.

Man rolls car

VIENNA

Police charged Todd Johnston, 56, of Roche Way, Boardman, with failure to maintain reasonable control, drunken driving, no seat belt and two drug-possession charges after he rolled his car off the southbound exit ramp of state Route 11 onto state Route 82 west at 1:13 a.m. Monday.

Lt. Brian Darby of the Vienna Police Department said another driver spotted Johnston’s car weaving off the roadway and crashing shortly thereafter and called 911.

The car is estimated to have rolled over three times before coming to rest near the exit ramp.

Johnston was trapped in the car by damaged doors and had to be removed by personnel from the Vienna Fire department.

Johnston was taken by ambulance to St. Elizabeth Youngstown Hospital for treatment of nonlife-threatening injuries, including a scratch on the head.
