Dog-poop dispute ends with 1 man jailed, 1 suffered cut hand

Posted

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) - Police in Florida say an argument between two men over dog poop has left one in jail and another with a knife wound to the hand.

The Palm Beach Post reports (http://pbpo.st/2tfQiN5 ) 33-year-old Ricardo Garcia Sanchez was arrested on Monday and charged with aggravated battery with a deadly weapon. According to a police report he's a property maintenance worker at an apartment complex in West Palm Beach and fought with a resident he believed allowed their dog to defecate without cleaning up afterward.

Garcia Sanchez admitted to confronting the man about the pet but denied having the knife, which police didn't find.

Garcia Sanchez is held in Palm Beach County Jail with bail at $50,000. His next court date is July 6 and it's unclear if he has an attorney.
