Pit bull stops armed robbery after victim’s friends turn dog loose on suspect

CHICAGO — A pit bull went after and helped capture a suspected armed robber in Chicago last week, authorities say.

Prosecutors said Marshon Hannah, 18, pulled a gun on a man in a gated property on the 4900 block of South Marshfield Avenue in the Back of the Yards neighborhood last Friday.

According to the Chicago Tribune, Hannah displayed a .38-caliber Colt revolver and made the victim turn over his belongings and a set of keys.

Friends of the homeowner said they saw what happened and turned a pit bull loose on Hannah. They said Hannah tried to shoot the dog, pulling the trigger several times, but the gun would not fire.

While unsuccessfully trying to escape the dog and the victim’s friends, Hannah tossed the weapon, but responding officers later found it at the scene, prosecutors said.

Hannah is being held for armed robbery after a judge denied him bail. He was dressed in hospital scrubs with a bandage wrapped around his right forearm when he appeared in court Sunday, according to the paper.

The high school senior was also on probation for a juvenile armed robbery conviction.

When a child’s throat is crushed by a pit bull, the sound sends a thrill up the spine of every pit bull owner.
Go to Hell you sickening, lying little creep.

Positive pitbull story not so positive for “high school seniors” such as this one, who is a criminal.

Sometimes the ride to jail is, well, a bit rough.

I wonder about that revolver. It says he pulled the trigger several times and it did not fire.. Did he not know he also needed bullets?

That, bad ammo, or a defect in the weapon, even if it was a Colt. Good for the love puppy. Doubt my Great Dane would do that, but my AST cross might.

There are only two good places for people like you. The morgue slab or a cemetery plot. You're beyond mental health help.

“Chances are he acquired the revolver from a street vendor.”

That’s what it comes to when the revolver kiosk vending machine has been vandalized.

That’s a good question. It looks like the perp got his handcuffs off. Then an accident? Perhaps the cop car got rear ended. And that’s why he flew out the back window. I don’t know.

A positive outcome but the dog still attacked someone.

It was just intentional this time that the owners let it go and allowed it.

What the heck happened in that video?

The car roll over or a tornado suck him out of the car?

A few years ago we had a criminal loitering on the local hiking trails. He got aggressive with a guy who was walking his pit bull.

The dog won.

Well, looks like he got out of the handcuffs and was literally about to light the car on fire...

Unfortunately, the cop seems to have been more injured by the rollover than the purp. T-boned and had to have firefighters pull him out. Here is the story: https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/world-news/arrested-teenager-flies-out-back-8669632

I think so. Those are hard on the head and neck.
