Woman sentenced

YOUNGSTOWN

A Kenmore Avenue woman was sentenced Friday in municipal court to two years’ house arrest after being found guilty of violating city animal laws. Charlotte Sullivan, 36, was found guilty of failure to confine her dog and for violating a rabies quarantine. Sullivan’s dog was under quarantine in August when it bit a person, according to court records. The dog then was placed under a second quarantine but it bit two more people while under the second quarantine, also in August. Court records show Sullivan still has the dog.
