Alford man's '˜dangerously out of control' dog injured a woman in Mablethorpe
Gary Leonard Brown, 38, of Chapel Street, appeared at Boston Magistrates’ Court on February 21 where he indicated a plea of guilty.
The offence took place in Wellington Road, Mablethorpe, on April 25, when Brown was in charge of a dog named Sandy (a ‘Staffordshire Bull Terrier Crossbred with a Whippet’), which injured the woman while it was deemed to be ‘dangerously’ out of control.

The court also determined that, in future, the dog must be kept under proper control, being securely held on a lead, and muzzled to prevent her from biting any person while in a public place - and if these terms are breached then the dog will be destroyed.
Brown’s guilty plea was taken into account by the court when sentencing.
