Aug 12, 2010 Village declares dogs to be potentially dangerous

Hutsonville – ...[The board of trustees] declared the dogs located at 603 S. Pleasant to be potentially dangerous.
The dogs, believed to be pit bulls, have gotten loose from their enclosure several times. Police Officer Chad Weaver said the owners have been cited and warned repeatedly about the dogs being loose, and one of the dogs has tried to bite police officers when they have tried to capture the animals. Weaver said the owners are currently building a new enclosure.

By declaring the animals potentially dangerous, they now have to be kept in a more secure encloser or be removed from the village.
