A Newton Police Officer was bitten twice attempting to remove a dog from another person’s yard. The incident happened in the 1200 Block of N. Madison around 1:35 p.m. Sunday, March 5. “There was a hole in the fence,” Powell said, saying the dog was described as a large rottweiler. “It got into the neighbor’s yard.” While the officer was trying to get the dog out of the yard, it bit him twice on the calf of his leg and the hand. The dog then ran back to its house. Powell said the officer was treated for his injuries.
