Loose dogs and chickens led to a couple of Gassaway Road residents getting a warning recently. According to Cannon County Sheriff Department reports, deputies were dispatched out to Gassaway road in reference to dogs killing chickens and threats made. Upon arrival, deputies spoke to David Mick, who explained that his dog had got out earlier and they were trying to catch it when it ran up on the property of his neighbor. Mr Mick advised that they have been having problems with their neighbor Michael Campbell and his chickens getting on Mr. Mick’s property. Mr. Mick also advised that here have been incidents in the past dealing with Mr. Campbell and his chickens getting on their property and tearing up the gardens. Mr. Mick said that he doesn’t want to have to shoot anyone’s animals and would like to be civil about it.
Deputies then went to speak to Mr. Campbell. He stated that a black bull terrier had got out and was on the top of his property. He also stated that he’s had incidents prior to someone’s dog getting out and killing his chickens and that he was going to shoot the dog due to it being on his property. Allegedly a threat was made that if Campbell shot the dog, Campbell would get his head blown off. The other party denied making such threat. Both Campbell and Mick were advised that this was their warning on animals at large. The next incident would be a citation to court and if it continued to happen arrests would be made.
