Yonshalae Powell checks out an eastern spiny softshell turtle on Orchard Street in Farrell. The turtle was found by Yonshalae, Jessica Deeter and Brian Waybright in an alley on the street. They called police, who called Animal Advocacy of Mercer County. Ms. Deeter said the turtle was taken to a safe place. This particular breed is "rarely seen and very aggresive," Ms. Deeter said. Waybright carried the turtle from the alley to the wading pool.
