Four years ago, Joliet Patch wrote a story about the death of Amin Hudson's pitball named Fatboy. The 5-year-old dog was found hanging from a fence on December 30, 2017, and the case caught the attention of the office of Will County State's Attorney James Glasgow.

One of Glasgow's assistant state's attorneys filed a petition at the Will County Courthouse asking that Amin Hudson forfeit ownership of his two other pit bulls. The disturbing incident surrounding the death of Fatboy occurred in Hudson's yard on Dover Street.
