Deputies stopped the vehicle and identified the driver as 33-year-old John Z. Pike, of Hillsdale, IN.

The other parties involved also stated that Pike threatened to shoot their dogs when they expressed concern for the animal’s safety. It was decided that the case would be sent to the Prosecutor’s Office for further review and all involved were told to separate and go home.
