Guess not even Frank Can cover his Own!!

INDIANAPOLIS -- A Marion County sheriff's deputy whose two pit bulls attacked and injured a man earlier this month was charged Monday with four misdemeanors in the case.

Shawn Middleton, 25, was charged with two counts of dog bite causing serious bodily injury and two counts of harboring a non-immunized dog in the attack on James Bates, 23.

One of the dogs involved was adopted from the Humane Society of Indianapolis on Jan. 8 and was killed when an officer shot the animal during the March 4 attack in the 5900 block of Grandview Drive.


The other pit bull was also shot and was later put down. Neighbors called just days after the adoption to report aggressive dogs.

In an interview last week, HSI Director John Aleshire said the dog showed no signs of aggression before it was adopted, but that was disputed in the police report.
