Police beat

Dog eat dog world
On Dec. 1 at 1:03 a.m. officers responded to a complaint that turned out to be a domestic fight. When the officers arrived at the residence on North Main Street, the resident said that her boyfriend had broken into her house. She told officers that she and her boyfriend share a dog and he had taken the dog after an argument. She had gone to his home and taken the dog back, prompting him to break her window to enter her home and take the dog.
The boyfriend was identified as Russell Fitzpatrick, 21. A witness observed the break-in and saw Fitzpatrick push his girlfriend to get to the dog. When an officer located Fitzpatrick, he admitted to breaking the window but not to pushing his girlfriend. Fitzpatrick was arrested for assault and criminal mischief for breaking in.
