A man whose dog injured four people in a "frightening" attack in a holiday park pub has been jailed.Thomas Skillen, 29, and his stepdad Ian Loftus, 59, admitted being in charge of a dog which caused injury while dangerously out of control in public.
Loftus, of Argoed, Kinmel Bay, was given a 14-month sentence, suspended for two years. Skillen, of Marine Road, Abergele, also admitted affray and assault and was given a 30-month prison sentence.
Assault? Yes, Reader. The dog wasn't the only savage animal in this story.
Mold Crown Court heard on Friday how, on 15 September last year, Skillen and Loftus brought Kilo, a Rottweiler-cross, to the Magpie and Stump pub at Palin's Holiday Park in Kinmel Bay, Conwy county. While in the outside seating area, Skillen was asked to stop Kilo from jumping on the tables and responded by telling a female member of security staff "my dog wants to give you a kiss", before leaving the pub.Skillen later returned and shouted abuse at security staff before climbing over the fence into the beer garden. He was repeatedly asked to leave and a security officer attempted to restrain Skillen, who proceeded to bite him.
Lovely people.
Meanwhile, Loftus had also arrived at the beer garden with Kilo. The dog bit a member of staff, causing an injury to her arm, and bit a customer, injuring his arm and bicep.
And police didn't turn up and shoot it? Why not?
