Ind. high court hears Evansville dog bite suit

Court Alerts

The Indiana Supreme Court will decide whether southern Indiana officials should be held liable for a dog that bit a 6-year-old Evansville boy.

The court heard oral arguments in the case Wednesday.

Misty Davis sued the city of Evansville on behalf of her son, Shawn. Her suit argues that animal control officials knew that the Rottweiler that attacked him was dangerous but failed to sanction its owner under the city's dangerous animal ordinance, making the attack possible

A trial judge agreed with officials' argument that they were immune, but the state Court of Appeals in August voted 2-1 to reverse that ruling.
