Mr. Tucker of Walnut Street was arrested and charged with a felony after he commanded his pit bull to attack another man. He tried to get the dog to go after a woman on Lowell Street who supposedly owed him money. When she locked herself in a room he turned the dog loose on her boyfriend. The man's private area was severely injured in the attack leading to a felony charge of second-degree assault as well as criminal threatening.
This is not the first time that Mr. Tucker, or "Chill" as he is known on the street has been in trouble either. He was recently charged with second-degree assault from an attack on a man on July 5th. He took his arm, which was in a hard cast, and beat the man over the head with it. He then proceeded to punch him and kick him while the victim was on the ground. This happened on Concord Street.
On top of all of this, Tucker had a warrant out for his arrest as he failed to appear in court for his first assault charge. His hearing for the current charges is on Wednesday and they are motioning to revoke his bail.
People like this that train their dogs to attack other people or animals are the ones that give these animals a bad name. The bully breeds such as rottweilers or pit bulls are so often mishandled by their owners and trained improperly by them that people have an intense fear of these breeds. I myself am terrified of pit bulls but only because of personal experience with one that had always been a friendly dog up until the incident. However does that mean they are all bad dogs? Of course not. And people like Tucker are the ones that lead everyone to believe that they are all vicious creatures.
There is no word on what was done with the dog at this moment.
