Upon arrival, the officer learned that the alarm was triggered from a back door. When the officer walked around to the rear yard, the officer was attacked by two dogs resembling pit-bull terriers.
The officer discharged a conducted energy weapon (Taser) at one of the dogs but was unsuccessful. The officer was then able to shoot and euthanize one dog.
After searching the area for the second dog it was located on the unit block of Morehouse. The dog remained aggressive and was euthanized by assisting officers.
The officer was transported to a local hospital for treatment for non-life threatening injuries.
The homeowners were cited by Delaware Animal Services for two counts of Dog at Large and two counts of Failure to Inoculate.
MEANWHILE...
Dea Crawford seems to think that any dog, even her Boston Terriers, could have attacked this officer and sent him to the hospital. Um, yeah, not too many vicious Bostons running around out there attacking people.
Nedean Moore Crawford - this could have been any kind of dog. my boston terriers are meaner then my 4 pit bulls yes i have 7 i did have 8 but i had to put down my ozzy who was a terrier. why is it only pit bulls make the news
Harry Cummings - Well I hope the officer is ok !
Nedean Moore Crawford - same here Harry Cummings I hope he is ok but it is a shame that only pit bull's that bite someone make the news
