A 34-year-old man from Berwyn is facing misdemeanor counts of assault and cruelty to animals after police said he choked a dog near 111th and Kedzie in the city's Mount Greenwood neighborhood Tuesday morning. Junior Lacy was charged shortly after the report was made following a "short foot pursuit" along 111th Street around 8:40 a.m., police said.
A WGN report indicates Terese Arroyo, the wife of a Chicago police officer, was walking her 9-year-old boxer named Rerun when Lacy approached her and apparently noticed the police collar on the dog.
"He kept using profanity," Arroyo said in the WGN report. "F this, F the police, I'll kill all of them."
Chicago police said Lacy "started yelling" at the woman and her dog, then "grabbed the dog leash out of the victim's hands (and) began to choke the dog."
Police said the victim screamed before Lacy fled. They arrested him near 111th and Pulaski a few minutes later, according to police.
The dog was wearing a collar with the checkerboard pattern that is emblematic of the CPD.

I have a friend who is a chess champion and used the same collar for his dog Rook, but it is black and white. He will get a giggle when I tell him about this.
There is going to be a Black Lives Matter march through the main arterial street of the Mt Greenwood neighborhood of Chicago Saturday afternoon. Could get interesting , as Mt Greenwood is home to thousands of Chicago police officers, firemen and city workers. It is also almost all white.
And your point is?
I thought it was self-evident, but let's say police and firemen will defend their homes if anything happens.
I dont think there will be trouble. There is going to be a tremendous uniformed police presence.
Okay, I can agree with you on that one.
Get out there and show your support for BLM John. Don't be just an armchair warrior.
I have family that lives there. I want to be invited to Thanksgiving dinner.
Oh, I see, BLM only when it doesn't interfere with your personal life
I'll walk with protesters in another neighborhood.

There is a Black Lives Matter protest about a mile from my house today
Of course, like good little liberal sheep, they will obey their leaders without question.
I'm sorry, but protesters who use total face coverings are cs. Are they afraid their bosses will see them and blow their "I'm too sick to come to work today." excuse?
letter from alderman
Those folks wanting to host a party at their house should just call it a protest and invite their friends to come protest in their backyard BBQ.
First Amendment and all, don't ya know!
Someone ain't right in the head
Hopefully the dog was able to bite her at least once.
Paula the assailant was a male, but yes I agree.
Oops. My bad.
Black Lives Matter protest in Mt Greenwood sort of fizzled out. Although they did march, there were only about 100 of them, mostly white, and no confrontation between the group and the residents of the neighborhood ensued.
