TWO people were charged with separate ferocious dog charges.

Kendal Wildgoose pleaded guilty to two counts of keeping a ferocious dog and has been ordered to pay $500 for each count as compensation.

The incidents occurred at 7.53am on September 11 on Tierra Lane and again on October 14 on Sandilands Village Road.

When Assistant Magistrate Carolyn Vogt-Evans asked if they were the same dog, Mr Wildgoose initially said he did not know but later agreed with his attorney that they were.

Before pleading guilty, the 35-year-old said: “Even though it’s really not mine, I’m gonna just plea.”

His attorney said his client is remorseful. He also added that he is a man who provides service to this country and makes valuable contributions to Bahamian society.

Meanwhile, Shervone Knowles pleaded not guilty to her charge.

She is accused of allowing a large ferocious dog to roam freely around 7.40am and 12am on September 29 while at Seahorse Drive.

The 53-year-old returns to court in February.
