Roaming Trumbull Dog Leads To Criminal Charges: PD

TRUMBULL, CT — A local man was arrested after his dog was found roaming and acted aggressive toward a family, according to police.

Police responded to the area of Crown Street and Griswold Avenue in April to take a complaint about a roaming dog.

It's the second documented time the German Shepherd was allowed to roam. The owner received a ticket in 2016, police said. There have also been informal complaints for similar incidents.

The owner, a 54-year-old Trumbull man was picked up by Fairfield Police and was later served the warrant that charges him with animal nuisance and allowing a dog to roam. He was released on a promise to appear.
