Troubleshooter Reporter at News 5 Cleveland
AKRON, Ohio — Althea Thomas and Shelia Smith are long-time Akron homeowners who report they've had to deal with excessive dog barking, dogs running loose and excessive dog odors for years in their neighborhood.
"Between midnight and 8 in the morning, if those dogs are barking, they should be in the house with their owner, not outside where they can disturb the residents,” Smith said. “Our privacy is being violated. When I talked to the prosecutor, they were saying this is a victim-less crime. We are victims in our own private property."
Akron homeowners Marie Reed and Jeff Smith believe irresponsible dog owners are jeopardizing neighborhood safety. Neal said he's looking into trying to add tougher penalties for dog owners who are repeat violators, which could include 30 days in jail and a $250 fine if the owner is convicted in court.
