I spoke to Lucy at 10:30 am and I asked her how many calls she had gotten so far and she said I was the first. She said she was not sure of the details but they had been trying forever to get him out of the memorial because he was destroying the landscaping and that it was distruction of property. They have pictures of it too she said.
She went on to say there are 2 sides to the story etc. She said one of their main concerns was that the dog is neglected. I aksed if there where complaints prior to 9/11 about the dog and she said yes. I found out tonight the dog did bite someone last year. But no complaints have been filed since then and only after 9/11 by city workers and from what I can figure out it is the ones who put up the trespass sign and the ones on the scene the day they arrested Mr. Northcut.
She then said some homeless people had complained that the dog was barking at them in another landscape area and they were concerned the dog is a danger.
She interupted me and asked how I found out about this and I told her Yahoo.com ( didnt want to give us away yet lol) told her I didnt have the url handy at the moment she could find it easy. She seemed to be getting a little worked up now and She then went on to say it was all still comming clear to her but Mr Northcut had had oustanding warrents and that was why they picked him up. The dog is a danger and looks very under fed. It will cost the city thousands to repair the landscape. She didnt know anything about where the dog was, had not talked to sheriff or any other questions after that. So I told her I would call her back in a few hours so they could figure out what was going on, before I went to print. :)
I came to FR got the url to the link and called her back...she took my call and I told her I had the url for her and she was in FULL PANIC mode and said they had found it and they were reading it now. I said good Ill talk to you in a few hours
I gave her 3 hours, called and was told They are in a meeting. Kept calling back she was still in a meeting her secretary said then at 4 all I got was voice mail for Lucy and her secretary.
Now since a complaint was filed a task force will investigate to determine if the dog is safe. They may give him back only if he has a fenced area to keep him in. Mr Northcut was offered a place to live but said no, he cant live indoors.
As of tonight Mr. Northcut was last seen at the memorial.
Im sure I left out some stuff...got notes scattered all over so if I remember any more I will post it.
OH and Mr Georges said NOT TO LET UP. KEEP IT GOING!!!!
ALSO please forgive typos Im typing as fast as I can
"Also... The dog TJ, is the replacement for his dog that died last year and that one is buried at the memorial. Jennifer Lynch got 100 emails and 60 phones today....Those are the ones to say thank you imagine what the City got."
How many reasons does this man need for people to understand why that memorial is important to him?? Someone said on an earlier post that "Lucy" thought the attention would die down in a few days. Let's not let that happen.
