A pit bull terrier has spent two years with a life sentence hanging over him as a legal fight over his future goes on. Albert, a banned variety of the breed, was seized by police and later magistrates ordered he should be destroyed.
However his owner, who is currently serving a seven year jail term after being convicted of robbery, is challenging the order. Travis Kendrick was part of a gang armed with knives who held up a victim on May 4, 2021.
Plymouth Live reports how a sentencing hearing was told how Kendrick had taken Valium and bleach when he shot a police officer twice with the officer's own Taser. The court was told it took 14 officers to restrain him.
