Date published: 09 September 2008
AN Oldham man has denied that his dog bit a Conwy councillor when he appeared before a judge.
Security guard Michael Butler (51), appeared before Caernarfon Crown Court accused of being in charge of a dog dangerously out of control in public. The court heard the charge followed an incident in Gower Street, Trefriw, on October 31 last year when it is alleged Conwy county councillor Emlyn Thomas was bitten on the leg by Butler’s dog, a seven-year-old German Shepherd called Fred.
Butler was granted bail after he pleaded not guilty to the charge. The case was adjourned for trial to September 30.
