BRIDGEPORT, Conn. (AP) - A city man was arrested Tuesday after police said he ordered his dog to bite a U.S. Postal Service carrier, who suffered puncture wounds in his leg.

Armindo Gomes, 67, was charged with second-degree assault, breach of peace and second-degree reckless endangerment. He was held on a $10,000 bond and was to be arraigned Wednesday in Bridgeport Superior Court.

Police said the carrier, whose name was not released, was delivering mail shortly after 2:30 p.m. when he was attacked by Gomes' Rottweiler. The carrier tried to run away, but the dog jumped a fence and grabbed his leg, the Connecticut Post reported.

Masek said it wasn't clear why Gomes allegedly ordered the dog to attack the carrier.

Police are investigating whether the off-duty officer violated any policies.

Who is the off duty Officer? Surely it wasnt the dog owner, he is 67 years old..........so is this meaning the postal worker?????

Sorry that one line really stood out to me.

I thought the same thing....that story does not make sense!
First of all, how many 67 year old men own rottweilers.
I would need to read more evidence than this supposed allegation.
