Dog Poop Retaliation on Elkhart Avenue
Also this week: a 12-year-old bicyclist was hit by a car and a pot brownie experience led to a hospital visit.

Isn't it frustrating when people don't pick up after their dogs?
Well, a resident in the 4800 block of Elkhart Avenue decided they'd had enough of their neighbor's dog droppings last week and decided to scoop the poop into a bag, then lay the bag of dog feces out on the sidewalk with a chalk-written message stating "Not my (expletive), not my trash."
A police officer was called to the scene on a resident's complaint at 5:30 p.m. Wednesday. The officer poured water on the swear word, and asked the resident to throw away the bag of dog feces.
