Literally taking a bite out of crime

One dog finds himself in a heap of trouble after he tried to take a bit out of crime, literally!

In Chattanooga, TN, this past week a pit bull mix was sentenced to obedience training after he attacked a local police car. While Winston (the pit bull mix) didn't bite anyone, he mauled and ripped at a Chattanooga police car thinking he was protecting his domain. The dog managed to ripe a section of the front bumper off and even did damage to the tires.

The Chattanooga Times Free Press reported that a judge ruled that Winston had been a very bad dog. He was sentenced to obedience and canine good citizen classes, and he'll have to wear a tag that says he is "potentially dangerous."

Charges against the owner will be dismissed if the obedience classes are completed successfully.

Owner Nancy Emerling said Winston got out of a fenced-in area at a welding shop March 14, and that is when the good dog went bad!
