CLINTON, N.C. (WGHP) -- Authorities say they encountered an aggressive dog on methamphetamine while searching a North Carolina property where a suspect stashed a stolen boat, chain saws and a motorcycle, WSOC reported.
The Sampson County Sheriff's Office issued a statement saying the case began Tuesday when deputies stopped a suspect towing a lawnmower that was reported stolen from a police department. Authorities say they found oxycodone in Matthew Denton Pope's vehicle.
Investigators then searched Pope's home and found more stolen items, the release says. Animal Control officers were called because a dog there was acting aggressively and strangely. Authorities say the dog tested positive for methamphetamine.
