Felony Stupidity….
I know I sound like a broken record but- You really can’t make this stuff up.
LOWELL — A 20-year-old Lowell man is facing charges after police say he allowed his pit bull to lunge and snap at people as he walked it downtown without a leash.
No one was bitten or injured, but police booked Tyrone Buffong, of 26 Third St., after an officer watched him walk from Central and Merrimack streets to Kearney Square while allowing his dog to lunge at passers-by Monday afternoon.
Several people soon complained to an officer who was in the area about 2 p.m., and when the officer approached Buffong, he refused to restrain the dog so the officer could speak to him, police said.
Buffong then resisted when an officer tried to arrest him, police said.
Buffong was charged with assault with a dangerous weapon (the dog), failure to license a dog, failure to restrain a dog, resisting arrest and disorderly conduct.
Full article in the paper of record here but am I the only one to notice you can’t spell Buffong without Buffon? Yeah I know it’s not Buffoon but close enough. I’m also shocked Mr. Buffoon Buffong resisted arrest. Remember folks- Poodle or Pitbull if they’re leashed they can’t do this. The problem isn’t the dog- it’s Tyrone Buffoon. I mean Buffong.

You are right – It’s the owner. Some people should just be banned from having dogs.
Mine just lost his freedom 2 days ago. He is now on an ankle bracelet and off the invisible fence, given he’s jumped it twice. On the first run, he nearly missed getting hit by a snowplow. On the 2nd attempt to get at the neighbor’s dog, mine won. This territory thing has been going on for some time. Of course she has the “right” to walk by my property, but her dog is bait and mine is “doing his job” according to the vet and the trainer. Dogs will be dogs.
I am a responsible owner. Ty is not.
