Bail for ‘ferocious dogs’ owner after alleged attack
Ryan Bacchus of 29 Anira Street, Queenstown, pleaded not guilty to the allegation that his two pets caused bodily harm to Venus Cox.
Yesterday, the defendant appeared before Magistrate Sueanna Lovell at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court where the charge of suffering ferocious dogs at large was read to him.
The incident occurred on October 13, 2012.
Police reports revealed that Bacchus’ two dogs jumped the fence and allegedly attacked Cox. According to the Prosecutor, when the report was made against him, he was arrested and placed on $10,000 bail.
The court heard that Cox tried shouting to ward off the animals, but they continued to approach her fiercely. She fell and suffered a few injuries.
Attorney Adrian Thompson, who is representing Bacchus in the case, challenged the statements given. He questioned “Don’t ferocious dogs bite?” It was understood that she was rushed, but not bitten. He referred to the dogs as mere “short-legged pets” as opposed to the “huge ferocious monsters they were being painted as”.
Bacchus was placed on bail and the matter was adjourned until March 13.
