Bermel says pit bull was a service dog, and\u00a0 wanted to shoot the dog so it would stop biting people.<\/p>\n

As reported over the weekend,\u00a0 Jamestown Police\u00a0 issued an alert late Friday, after the dog bit a person near the Buffalo Motel, resulting in serious injuries.<\/p>\n

Police Chief Scott Edinger said the dog had bitten at least three people in the 10 days leading up to its capture.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
