Gun Pulled During Dog Attack
By Patrick Sullivan | July 23, 2019
Traverse City police responded to an incident Friday after a man pulled a handgun when two dogs attacked his poodle.
The two dogs jumped a fence and attacked while the poodle owner was out walking his dog in his neighborhood. The owner of the other dogs soon emerged and got them under control. The incident happened Friday at 9:22pm on the 800 block of Kinross Street.
Afterward, the poodle owner holstered his pistol and the two men “exchanged words,” Capt. Jim Bussell says.
Bussell says officers learned that the armed man had a valid concealed pistol license and that he never pointed the weapon at anyone other than the attacking dogs. No one was arrested because of the incident.
