Two pit bulls accused of running at Elgin, Ill., Mayor Ed Schock have been labeled as “dangerous,” meaning they will be under a number of restrictions under a new city ordinance.
Under the designation, the dogs now must be licensed with the city, neutered or spayed, micro-chipped and have rabies shots. They also have to be kept behind a locked 6-foot high fence and muzzled if they are on public property. In addition, their owner, Silvia Lugo, must have $100,000 in liability insurance.
Lugo was also fined a total of $2,200 at a hearing for several offenses related to the pit bulls.
The punishment stems from a June 24 incident in which Schock was walking his German shepherd near Lugo’s home.
