YORKVILLE, IL — A Yorkville man and woman want a salesman's company to cover the damage he caused when their dog spooked him and caused him to jump onto the roof of their car, police said. According to a Yorkville police report, the residents called police at around 6:22 p.m. Thursday to report a May 5 incident in which a man soliciting for an energy company became frightened by their dog and jumped onto the roof of their 2015 Ford Fusion.
