Mein Fuhrer's £450 court bill

A DOG named Mein Fuhrer has landed his owner with a £450 bill after terrorising other pets on Hampstead Heath.
Owner Shalako James, 53, failed to appear at Highbury Corner Magistrates’ Court on Friday. The court was told that, when asked why the Staffordshire bull terrier was off a lead, James told Heath police: “To do its toilet and run after a dog on heat.”
James, of Hargrave Park, Archway, was charged with breaching by-laws in September and October last year by failing to keep his dog under control. He was fined £250 and ordered to pay £200 costs.
Representing Heath guardian the City of London, Ru Rahman told the court the dog was known to officers as “friendly but muscular”.
PC Stephen Waugh said: “I could see the Staffordshire terrier running from person to person and dog to dog. I told Mr James to call it. I saw it running towards another dog. I could see the owner getting worried.”
On another occasion, Heath sports recreational manager Thomas Crick had to restrain the dog after a woman complained about its behaviour. It was held in a cage until James arrived.
Also fined on Friday for breaching Heath by-laws was Paul Hallinan, who was caught riding his scooter on a path in June last year. Hallinan, 19, of Great Percy Street, King’s Cross, was fined £100 and ordered to pay £100 costs. He was not in court.
