Contamination advisory for lake

LAKE MILTON

A contamination advisory is in effect for Lake Milton due to an Ohio Department of Natural Resources finding of elevated E. coli bacteria levels, ODNR confirmed.

Though E. coli levels were found to be in excess of the recommended threshold, an ODNR spokesman said the bacteria likely will dissipate quickly.

ODNR expects additional test results to be in by the end of the week.

Signs are posted at the affected beaches warning visitors of the potential risk. For information, visit ohioalgaeinfo.com.

Robbery charge

YOUNGSTOWN

U.S. marshals arrested a Warren man wanted on a warrant for robbing the Dollar General, 2023 Market St., on Friday.

Robert Johnson, 50, of McMyler Street Southwest, was arrested about 2:30 p.m. Tuesday at his home and was booked into the Mahoning County jail on the robbery charge.

According to a police report, a man walked into the store about 6:30 p.m. Friday and held his hand under his shirt as if he had a gun and demanded money. The employee refused to give him anything. He walked out and got in a car which then drove away.

As city police were taking that report, they learned there was a similar robbery in Boardman minutes later, reports said.
