In Ibstock, Leicestershire, Aden Hollyoake has been sentenced to over two years in prison after his XL bully viciously attacked a police officer during a routine visit. The officer sustained severe leg injuries.
Shanell Lawrence, Hollyoake’s partner, received a community order for her involvement. Bodycam footage shows the dog attacking the officer despite attempts to stop it with spray.
The incident highlights ongoing concerns over dangerous dogs in the UK, as stricter enforcement on banned breeds like pit bulls becomes a pressing issue. Both dogs were seized by authorities.
