True, unfortunately, the dog is the victim in the case of the town crackpot vs. the law. I wonder if his choice of using a lawnmower as a conveyance is due to a DUI.

from the article:

Chancellor said there were numerous complaints about Fry's dog.

Buddy Tough had already been in the city pound once before.

"He'd threatened to shoot us before, so I approached him with caution," Chancellor said. "I was afraid he might have had a rifle with him."

The cops have had prior experience with him:

Drug officer alleged target of man with weapons cache - Gerald Green @ 2:28 pm CST
A 65-year-old Hydro man has been charged with planning to kill or do bodily harm to R.C. Daniel, a member of the District 2 Drug Task Force.

Edwin B. Fry Sr. was taken into custody Monday outside his Hydro home after a clerk at a Clinton pawn shop told authorities that the man had purchased a bullet-proof vest and made threats against Daniel. The alleged intended victim is a former Custer County deputy sheriff who lives in Weatherford.

Fry was formally charged yesterday with “planning, attempting, conspiring or endeavoring to perform act of violence involving serious bodily harm – threats.” The crime is a felony punishable by up to 10 years in prison........

A story in this week’s Country Connection which serves the Hydro-Eakly area quoted a Caddo County deputy sheriff as saying that 24 loaded firearms were found in Fry’s house near each door and window, along with stacks of ammunition. The deputy, Linus Miller, also told the newspaper that there was an elaborate alarm system on all the doors and windows.........

The Eakly newspaper said Fry is a veteran and that marksmanship awards and other war mementos were found scattered about his house. The newspaper said he was taken initially for mental evaluation.
