A pitbull named ‘Demon’ will be destroyed - despite claims its owner was the real danger.
Really?!?
Chaos erupted in court when Daniel Andrews, from South Shields, appeared to face a charge of possessing a fighting dog.
He threatened to kill a police dog in retaliation and fought security in the dock, shouting: “I’m going to f***** smash your face in!”
The outburst came after Andrews was told he would be jailed for 10 weeks as Demon - a fighting dog who he claimed he’d trained to bite - was given a destruction order.
Ah. OK. You may be right, then.
Earlier, the court heard Andrews had mental health issues, which came to the fold last November 7 when police seized Demon.
Don't they always?
Andrews’ solicitor told the court he could appeal.
He doesn't appeal much to me...
Regrettably, the magistrate can't issue a destruction order for the dog's owner!

ReplyDeleteA dangerous dog owner who threatened a judge after he ordered the destruction of his Pit Bull has been jailed for nearly six years for tasering a man in the neck and attacking a woman.
Daniel Andrews kicked off in court earlier this month when told he would be jailed for 10 weeks and his dog, called Demon, would be destroyed.
Now Andrews has been back in court to be sentenced for a series of unrelated charges, including possessing a prohibited weapon, a taser disguised as a firearm.
"Regrettably, the magistrate can't issue a destruction order for the dog's owner!"
ReplyDeleteSpot on!
"... jailed for nearly six years for tasering a man in the neck and attacking a woman."
That should read 'sentenced to'. We all know he won't serve it all!
