Canton Man: Face-Tattooed Guy Said He'd Shoot Me Over a Dog

A Canton resident told police a face-tattooed man ordered him to return the dog the resident recently had been given or face a showdown either with a group of bikers or the business end of a gun, according to a HometownLife report.

The resident, who lives in the Sherwood Village mobile home park, the suspect came to his place at about 9:30 p.m. March 1, the report stated. The suspect demanded the resident give back the dog, which had been given to him by a female neighbor, or he would be shot, the report added. The suspect also said he would return with bikers if the 48-year-old resident didn’t comply, according to the report.

The 33-year-old suspect, who is not the dog’s owner, denies this, telling police he never threatened the resident and that he doesn’t own a firearm, the report stated. The resident did not see the suspect with a weapon, but a witness did claim to have heard the gun threat, the report added.

This alleged incident stems from a series of interconnected dramas involving overly generous individuals and a poor dog who almost becomes inadvertently responsible for more bad feelings and threats of gun violence than Keanu Reeves’s canine from the movie John Wick.

Apparently, the female neighbor who gave the dog to the resident got the canine from another woman, the report stated. That other woman also was the boyfriend of the aforementioned face-tatted suspect, the report added.

You follow all of that? Good.

Why the suspect wanted the dog back—and why the dog was continually given away, for that matter—remains a mystery.
