ON MONDAY WE TOLD YOU ABOUT 33 year-old San Pedro resident Byron Evans, REMANDED FOR discharging a firearm in public. His attorney, Oscar Selgado, explained that on June 10, Evans was walking on Tarpon Street in San Pedro going to pick up his wife when he was attacked by Pit Bulls - allegedly owned by Minister and area representative Manuel Heredia. Today Herredia told us the problem dog isn't his:
Hon. Manuel Herredia, Minister of Tourism
"Well first of all Jules I don't even have a do at home. My yard is well fenced, but I dint even have a dog. The dog in question was my neighbor's dog and indeed the dog has always been out of the yard and so I think If I recall it has bitten about 4-5 persons. The only things that I saw with this one is discharging the firearm in public, but other than that I think that the guy have a right to defend himself. The guy is my friend, if he is wrong he is wrong, but in this particular case, I know his wife. Just Tuesday night his wife came to see me, she says 'minister it is not us who is saying that,' she says it's the PUPs coming out with these lies about you because we know you well and I am coming today to ask for a favor, not concerning her husband but in other things that is private - the lady crying. She says she knows us well and people are talking that way. She says she knows the dog is not your and she knows you are not the one incarcerating my husband. They are my people Jules and I have to love them."
