North Lima man now facing charges in fatal crash
GIRARD, Ohio (WKBN) – A North Lima man answered to charges in a fatal crash last November. Joshua Johnston, 37, is charged with aggravated vehicular homicide, a third-degree felony, and vehicular assault, a fourth-degree felony, as well as failure to yield and a seatbelt violation. Charges against Joshua Johnston were filed March 26 in Girard Municipal Court, and he was arraigned on Wednesday. Johnston was driving a 2017 Ford Fusion southbound on Warner Road on Nov. 10, 2024, when he failed to yield to a 2022 Subaru Crosstrek traveling eastbound on state Route 82, according to a report from the Ohio State Highway Patrol. The force of the crash pushed the Fusion off the road and into a ditch. A passenger, Miranda Zullo, 35 of Youngstown, was pronounced dead at the scene. Another passenger, 13-year-old Myle Johnston from Struthers, was transported to the hospital with serious injuries. She has since been released from the ICU, and her mother said she is doing much better. Johnston has been incarcerated at the Belmont Correctional Institution after he was sentenced in December to a year in prison for breaking into the Smith Township home of his ex-girlfriend. He is set to be released from prison on November 17. Johnston is set to appear in court again for a preliminary hearing in his crash case on July 2.

Court sides with Denver over Trump administration's threats to withhold grant funding
DENVER (KDVR) — A Washington federal court granted Denver and other plaintiffs a preliminary injunction on Tuesday in their lawsuit against the Trump administration over threats to withhold grant funding for transportation programs and priorities. The court ruled the Trump administration is likely acting in violation of the Separation of Powers principle by 'attempting to condition disbursement of funds in part on grounds not authorized by Congress, but rather on Executive Branch policy.' Data: Income levels in Colorado among highest in the US, according to report 'The Court concludes that Plaintiffs are likely to prevail in their claim that in attemptingto impose the new funding conditions on recipients of the (Continuum of Care Program) funds, Defendants have run afoul of the Separation of Powers doctrine, and were acting in excess of statutory authority, and that under the (Administrative Procedure Act), those conditions must be set aside,' the order states. The judge overseeing the complaint also determined that the threat of losing out on funds itself constituted harm, writing, 'It is this looming risk itself that is the injury, and one that Plaintiffs are already suffering.' Denver Mayor Mike Johnston applauded the decision on Wednesday. 'Denver follows all laws — federal, state, and local — and it should not be so much to ask the White House to do the same,' Johnston said in a statement. 'We appreciate the court's swift and precise ruling protecting the federal funding that Denverites deserve,' said Johnston.

The memo also warned federal funding recipients could be cut off if they did not assist in the enforcement of federal immigration policy. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

East Peoria man charged in connection with EastSide Centre SUV vs. motorcycle collision
EAST PEORIA, Ill. (WMBD) — An East Peoria man faces DUI and other charges after an incident near Eastside Centre late Monday night that left one person seriously injured. Dalton Johnston, 32, was charged in Tazewell County Circuit Court with leaving the scene of a personal injury accident and aggravated DUI, both felonies, in connection with the incident that occurred at about 10:20 p.m. Monday. Officers with the East Peoria Police Department were called after a SUV vs. motorcycle traffic collision, according to court records. When they arrived, they found a 41-year-old man who had been on the motorcycle with serious, but non-life-threatening injuries. According to court records, the injured motorcyclist suffered road rash on the right side of his body, a broken arm and a cut to his head that required staples. The SUV that was involved had already left the area. Later, officers found the vehicle and arrested Johnston. According to court records, Johnston admitted to a police officer that he had been involved in the collision and that he did not stop to render aid to the injured man or to call police as required by law. He also allegedly told police that he knew the motorcycle was stuck under his vehicle. As he was talking, the officer wrote in a statement that he could smell alcohol on his breath. Johnston's speech was allegedly slurred as well, according to court records. Chemical testing and a breath test indicated his blood-alcohol level was 0.128, above the legal limit of 0.08, according to court records. Johnston allegedly told an officer he had three shots of Woodford Reserve, a brand of whiskey. He was taken to the Tazewell County Jail early Tuesday morning and remains there as of Wednesday afternoon. He was initially booked on attempted murder charges but those were later changed to reflect what he was charged with in court. A date for him to appear in court has not been set, according to online court records. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
