HTN: Loose Dog Causes Dismay in Alden

A loose dog and some scared kids are the reason two Village of Alden men went to jail. Police received a report of a loose German Shepherd reportedly threatening children in the Seabrook Drive neighborhood. They arrived and were able to get all the children safely indoors, but 42-year-old Kenneth Hicks allegedly drove his truck down recklessly the street to confront the dog and its owner. Timothy Bentz also came outside with a bow and arrow at one point. Hicks has been charged with reckless endangerment, while Bentz faces a menacing charge. The dog was picked up by Alden dog control.
