HUNTINGTON -- A group of pit bull owners and supporters gathering in Ritter Park were met with muzzle citations and one arrest Sunday.
The group said it was attempting to raise awareness and calm the fears of city residents pushing for a citywide ban of the dog breed.
Walkers had completed one half-lap around Ritter Park before they were met by police officers and a dog warden at about 1:45 p.m. Sunday.
Five citations were delivered to pit bull owners refusing to muzzle their dogs. One man, Mike Barcus, was arrested on charges of disorderly conduct and obstruction after he was issued a citation, Sgt. Darrell Booth said.
West Pea Ridge resident Sabrina Jeffers organized the walk through the park as a response to not only the citywide law requiring pit bulls and other breeds of dogs to wear a muzzle while in public, but also to the recent death of 2-year-old Arianna Fleeman.
Just like everyone else, I used to be scared of these dogs," Jeffers said. "I want to show people that they are family dogs and not all are violent."
Fleeman died May 17 as a result of injuries from a pit bull attack while visiting a home in Guyandotte with her mother, Brittany Fleeman.
Lucile Fleeman, Arianna’s grandmother, and Cindy Brown, Arianna’s aunt, were present at the walk-in, making sure pit bull owners were following the law and muzzling their animals.
"This is the most disrespectful thing anyone can do to a family," Lucile Fleeman said. "If they were following the law, it would show that they were being respectful. We have a dead child because of this."
Fleeman and Brown kept their distance from the dog walkers, not seeking any confrontation.
We are in no way against people owning and loving these dogs," she said. "We just want people to follow the law."
Several dog owners were hesitant about muzzling their animals because of the heat. Some even claimed the muzzles were a form of animal cruelty.
"The muzzle is hot and keeps her from breathing," Dana Bailey of Huntington said of his 9-year-old pit, Ivory.
