A man from Medina County's Sharon Township, who has been convicted of stealing nine automobiles, and falsifying 10 auto titles, will be spending five years behind bars.

The charges are a result of incidents that took place between October of 2011 and June of 2012. Collier was previously in trouble for similar charges.

The man ended up escaping to a neighboring apartment where police were called before he was taken to a hospital with multiple injuries.

After a five-year hiatus due to financial issues, the village of Millersburg is resuming its crack sealing program. The program, which is intended to extend the life of the village's streets, is back thanks to the passage last November of a half percent income tax issue. The village plans to seal cracks on several streets this summer, including portions of East Jones Street, Glen Drive and South Crawford Street. Millersburg officials say that after the cracks are sealed, they're also going to consider a paving program, depending on the cost.

Dalton amends ordinance

Sun, 05/19/2013 - 6:39am

Council members in Dalton have amended a nearly 20-year old ordinance after an error in it was discovered just last month. The 1995 ordinance dealt with vacating an alley near Buckeye Road and required easements on all properties adjacent to the village library. The problem was, no easements were ever signed back in '95, meaning the alley hadn't officially been vacated by the village. Council members ultimately decided to amend the ordinance so that easements are no longer required.
