Animal Problem
On December 22nd, 2025 at approximately 1617 hours I was dispatched to 222 Markwith Ave Greenville, Ohio on an animal complaint.
Upon arrival I spoke to Ben Baker who advised one of the neighbors dogs behind him is loose and running around. Ben stated that the dogs belong to Troy Vanden at 229 Hart Ave, I was able to confirm Troy and found that he was recently issued a warning for failure to control dog on 12-10-25. Upon arrival at 229 Hart Ave, I located a younger German Shepard dog running around the block, the dog was running down the streets and through peoples’ yards. I was able to locate Troy’s 7 year old son outside who was looking for the dog. I asked him where his dad was and he stated inside the house. I told him to go get his dad and he needs to get his dog contained.
Troy came outside and after several minutes was able to get the dog under control and back inside. Troy stated that they now have approximately 6 dogs and they are a lot to control. I advised him that with the prior warning and multiple barking dog calls that he would be issued a citation for animals at large. Troy was given his copy of the citation and advised of his mandatory court date and time.
