Kelly McGilton, requested a summons from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mariettacourt.com\/\" target=_blank>Marietta Municipal Court<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A redacted report from the Washington County Sheriff\u2019s Office, supported with photographs, indicated the incident in March resulted in bites to the victim\u2019s arms and legs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">McGilton said there is a statutory requirement to report dog bites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;I can&#8217;t comment on this case specifically, but the law states the requirements. The only time a bite is justified is if a person is trespassing for an unlawful reason. Even if you warn the person, when they&#8217;re visiting, if they don&#8217;t trespass, if you invite them into your home, there&#8217;s not much gray area in that section of the law,&#8221; she said. &#8220;It&#8217;s pretty cut and dried, as the owner it is your responsibility, you have to be extremely careful.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With Fleury designated as a vicious dog after the most recent bite report, the court could order him euthanized. McGilton said McCabe will be able to make his case before a judge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;They will have a hearing and go through proper court proceedings, they&#8217;ll have due process,&#8221; she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">McGilton said the county deals with 10 to 15 dangerous or vicious dog complaints a year, and there are many such dogs that remain with their owners, who have to meet specific conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;When off the property, they have to be on a chain-linked leash or tether six feet or less in length, and controlled by a person of suitable age or competency,&#8221; she said. &#8220;The dog needs to be kept in a locked enclosure outside or an enclosed back yard, and you can&#8217;t just tie it outside \u2013 there needs to be a responsible person close enough to capture it if it gets loose.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Signs have to be posted warning people that there is a dangerous dog on the property \u2013 with an illustration for children or people unable to read \u2013 and the dog is subject to a special registration tag that costs an additional $50. The dog has to be spayed or neutered and microchipped, she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;It&#8217;s a lot of requirements, but we do have a lot of people in the county who comply, and they do fine,&#8221; she said. &#8220;I do checks on occasion to make sure they&#8217;re safe.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/navytimes\/news\/your-navy\/2015\/11\/15\/report-long-hours-a-nosy-co-a-pet-goat-aboard-cruiser-lake-erie\/\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/635830070538178160-goat-on-a-boat-3000jpg.jpg?w=300\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__image wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__content\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"smg-interstitial-link__kicker\">Related<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"smg-interstitial-link__title\">Report: Long hours, a nosy CO &#038; a pet goat aboard cruiser Lake Erie<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">New report details bizarre culture, where sailors bristled at erratic working hours, an intrusive CO and his pygmy goat.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\t\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">McCabe\u2019s case was scheduled for a hearing Feb. 19, according to the municipal court docket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The McCabes bought their west side house several years ago and have been doing rehabilitation work on it since they moved in, including flushing away squatters and drug users. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The house, which had been abandoned for years, was built in 1830.
