Elgin — An
Elgin police officer shot and wounded a pit bull over the weekend after
it made threatening moves toward him, police said Monday.
The dog
was taken to an animal hospital where it was euthanized. The dog's
owner, Dewayne M. Miller, 23, of the 400 block of Locust Street, was
cited for allegedly violating city ordinances that prohibit dangerous
dogs, require dogs to be on a leash or confined and require proof of
rabies inoculation, said police spokeswoman Ann Dinges.
