Bail Hearing Delayed

The man accused of animal cruelty after a dog was found bound with electrical tape will have to wait until December 24 for his bail hearing.

Michael Earl Hill appeared before the court Tuesday for his hearing.

However Justice Michael Hurst declared himself a dog lover and recused himself from the case to ensure there was no illusion of a bias in the trial.

Hill will appear before a different judge on Thursday.

On December 17 a dog was found bound with electrical tape at the snout and paws near a Canadian Tire on Walker Rd. The dog, now named Justice, is expected to recover.
