Pit Bulldog Joins Holiday Family Brawl
Wed Dec 29, 5:47 PM ET Strange News - AP
ROGERSVILLE, Tenn. - A family fight turned uglier when their pet pit bulldog joined the brawl. Christina Lyman told authorities she was trying to break up a Christmas evening altercation between her brother and sister, Nicholas Lyman, 19, and Yvonne Lyman, 22, both of Indianapolis.
That's when the family owned pit bull entered the fray and "turned on all three parties," according to Cpl. Chad Gillenwater of the Hawkins County Sheriff's Department.
Arriving at the home, Gillenwater said he found dents in the siding, a broken storm window and torn screen from the fight, and Yvonne Lyman outside in a "violent and intoxicated state."
The officer found Nicholas Lyman and Christina Lyman inside. Both appeared to have been drinking as well.
All three Lymans were suffering from dog bites and had to be taken to the emergency room for treatment.
Nicholas and Yvonne Lyman were charged with domestic violence assault. Yvonne Lyman also was charged with disorderly conduct. They face a Jan. 12 arraignment in Hawkins County Sessions Court.
No action was taken against the dog.
Or was is Bull@#%t reporting? Or dog@#$t reporting? Or bulldog@#^t reporting? It IS the AP.......
Sounds like the kind of family that definitely should NOT own a pit bull.
Sounds like the dog saved them from themselves
But had the dog been drinking?
Sounds like he was the only one sober at this party...
One big happy family ping. No middle names mentioned.
The dog had a PETA lawyer and will not be charged.
It's in the socialist dictionary right under Assault Rifle......:oP
Hmmmmm dent in the siding....dare I suggest a "trailer" ?
LOL
My point entirely.
I remember when my newfie was a 90 lb puppy attempting to get in between me and my brother when I was 18 and my brother 16. We were just screwing around and I double legged him down and Duke decided he had had enough.
It was interesting for a couple of minutes. He wasnt really attempting to bite me or him, just break it up.
This is the first time I've ever read that a Pit was found innocent. At least the dog kept those morons from killing each other, although the dog may not be there to save them from themselves the next time.
Where's a $100 bill when you need one?
I think it's Pit Bull Terrier Dog, dog.
The dog is the smartest member of the family.
It was the only sober one there, and tried to break up the fighting.
Are you suggesting that this might not have happened in an upscale neighborhood?
`:-D
I'm guessing these folks would go for well under $100...heck, a pint of Thunderbird would suffice!
The only thing missin is the mention of a jug of thunderbird and it's a lock !
I'm glad I've switched over to FRs late-night gig. Either the West Coast Freepers are a real fun lot, or the East Coasters are sauced up big time, LOL.
