Mar 27, 2013 Evanston Police Shoot Attacking Pit Bull During Narcotics Bust
Evanston - Police arrested five people and had to put down a pit bull during a search for drugs at two Evanston homes on Friday.
Police executed two search warrants simultaneously in the 2000 block of Warren Street and the 1300 block of Darrow Avenue at approximately 11:20 a.m., according to a press release from the department. Detectives from the department’s special operations conducted the searches in conjunction with members of the Cook County Sheriff’s Police Gang Crimes unit, as part of an ongoing investigation of narcotics sales in Evanston.
As they entered the home in the 1300 block of Darrow Avenue, officers encountered a large pit bull that was “acting aggressively toward police,” according to the release. “As a result, the dog was put down,” the release said.
Between both homes, police seized 125 grams of cannabis, one gram of crack cocaine and several pills of a controlled substance called Alprazolam, or Xanax. Police also seized a little more than $2,300 that they believe was used in illegal drug sales.

Oct 18, 2012 Pit bull that attacks elderly woman and her dog is shot dead

| File photo of another lab attacked by a pit bull with extensive injuries which are almost exactly like those described in this attack. |
A neighbor attempted to stop the pit bull by throwing a brick paver at it, but that did not faze the pit bull. When police arrived, the lab was bleeding heavily and the pit bull was STILL attacking it and the elderly owner.
The owner was bitten multimple times in the leg, and the labrador retriever mix had extensive bites on the neck, back, shoulder and leg. Police shot and killed the attacking pit bull.
The owner of the pit bull has been identified and will probably be cited after the animal Warden has collected evidence.

Evanston - Evanston Police Chief Richard
Eddington has asked aldermen to give his officers more authority to seize dogs
that have been deemed “dangerous,” saying the move is necessary to deal with
those dog owners who ignore citations issued due to their dog’s behavior.
Eddington said an incident over the weekend serves as the “poster child” for irresponsible dog ownership...
(A resident) was chased by a pit bull. Burrus said the dog’s owner also has two other dogs, and has been repeatedly ticketed since 2008 for his dogs’ behavior.
The pit bull attacked the resident and his dog until he was able to reach his home, Burrus said, at which time the pit bull remained outside, barking and scaring neighbors.

Oct 21, 1987 Evanston Law Aims to prevent Pit Bull Attacks
Oct 21, 1987 Law May Restrain Dog Owners
Evanston - Pit bull owners beware - Evanston doesn't like your pets.
The Evanston Police Services Committee made that clear last night when, after a public hearing, it passed "the nuclear weapon of animal control ordinances," according to one alderman. This first-ever legislation, if approved by the city council, would require owners of pit bulls and other dangerous dogs to restrain their animals from attacking passers-by.
Although the proposal did not refer to any specific breed, Ald. John Bleveans (7th) said the nationwide uproar over pit bulls this summer prompted the aldermen to draft another dog control ordinance. Extensive leash, license and noise control laws already exist.
"I live next door to five pit bulls. If we had known that when we bought the house, we never would've bought the house," said 2nd Ward resident Leslie Swenson. "The noise level and the smell are horrendous."
The three-page ordinance defines dangerous dogs as those with "a known propensity to attack unprovoked, to cause injury or to otherwise endanger the safety of human beings or domestic animals.
At Swenson's suggestion, the ordinance was amended to restrict residents to one dog per single-family dwelling. Currently, animal lovers can own as many dogs as they wish.
The ordinance also prohibits dangerous dog owners to keep theri pets on a porch or patio and requires the animals to be confined to a pen 6-feet high.
Furthermore, the ordinance says, the animals must be licensed and insured for not less than $100,000. First-time violators could be fined as much as $500 and repeat offenders could be sentenced to 30 days in jail.
Evanston Police Cmdr. Frank Kaminski said he hadn't received any complaints of residents being attacked, but that the ordinance was a good preventive measure.
