TOWN OF OSCEOLA - Two men are expected to make their initial court appearances Wednesday for their role in allegedly using a pit bull to attack an 18-year-old as a means of interrogation.
ReplyDeleteThe incident occurred on Aug. 31 at a residence on Greenwood Lane in the town of Osceola.
Lt. Cameron McGee said the Campbellsport EMS was called to the residence around 11:19 p.m. for a victim with multiple dog bite wounds on the body.
“During our investigation we learned that the 58-year-old homeowner had accused the 18-year-old of theft and commanded his pit bull to attack the kid as a means of interrogation,” McGee said. “After more discussion, the man called the dog to attack the kid a second time while the victim’s father watched.”
McGee said the 18-year-old was then bound around the ankles, dragged outside and hung upside down from the porch rafters.
“The dog again was commanded to attack the kid,” McGee said, adding that the boy’s father may have participated in the interrogation.
McGee said a third party arrived at the residence and was shocked at the scene and called 911. The 18-year-old was transported to St. Agnes Hospital and treated for multiple dog bite wounds over his entire body, and released.
Charges of false imprisonment, party to a crime of negligent handling of a dangerous weapon, aggravated battery and bail-jumping are being referred to the Fond du Lac District Attorney’s Office against the 58-year-old town of Osceola man.
The boy’s father, a 43-year-old New Berlin man will face similar charges along with failing to aid the victim in reporting a crime.
McGee said the dog is being held at the Fond du Lac County Humane Society.
“I don’t want to see pit bulls getting a bad rap. This was a dog that was trained to attack, and the owner was specifically ordering him to do that,” McGee said. “It is the pet owners responsibility to have control of their dogs.”
In his years as a law enforcement officer, McGee cannot remember a similar case.
“It’s kind of scary that something like this would happen and a parent would stand by and do nothing,” McGee said. “It’s just shocking.”
The 58-year-old is also scheduled for a jury trial later this year on charges of intentional child abuse stemming from an unrelated case.
