Power gone bad

Drudge has this story today of a man who busted his dog out of the pound and is now jailed.

So what happened to the dog? Euthanized.
What kind of dog? Poodle
Transgression of the dog? Being loose.
Oh – and the age of the owner? 73

Hydro police officer Chris Chancellor said ever since two pit bull terriers killed a high school student’s show calf three weeks ago, the department has been flooded with calls about unleashed dogs.
“We don’t have the manpower to patrol for loose dogs, but we act on every complaint,” Chancellor said.

Chancellor said there were numerous complaints about Fry’s dog. One woman complained Buddy Tough was coming to her house and causing a ruckus with her dogs.

In a separate incident, a senior fell and injured herself trying to get Buddy Tough off her porch one night. After that, a resident caught the dog and brought him to the police station, he said.
Buddy Tough had already been in the city pound once before. That time, Fry paid the $50 fine and had him released.

The pound knew the owner was in jail and they euthanized this dog anyway. That my friends is power gone bad.
