MISSISSIPPI -- The Brandon Board of Aldermen recently voted to revoke a pit bull ordinance after the owner of three pit bulls violated conditions of the ordinance.
The variance granted to Andrew Lloyd of Sagewood Drive in August, allowed him to keep three pit bulls on his premises.
Two months later, police saw the dogs running loose and one jumped on a neighbor and scratched her leg while she was holding her infant. The dogs also reportedly attempted to attack other dogs through fences.
Police captured the dogs and while searching the premises found a fourth pit bull inside the house, along with 15 pit bull puppies and two breeder’s certificates.
The puppies were sick and euthanized and the others were transported to the Rankin County Animal Shelter.
