“The last time, she grabbed her pit bulls and ran.”

Wait, she has pit bulls, multiple, and they were letting some stranger hold her hostage? That’s odd.

kidnapping, false imprisonment, burglary and an outstanding arrest warrant. By the time he gets out, the only good he will be able to do is as fertilizer.
