A man driving through Marion County with an allegedly poop-covered and unrestrained baby, two pit bulls, and drugs in the vehicle reportedly told the dogs to attack the deputies during his arrest.

Early in the evening on July 27, the authorities received a call informing them that there was a fight taking place on the side of the road. Deputies from the Marion County Sheriff’s Office went to the location, and when the first one arrived, they said they saw the driver throwing something out his car window. When he approached, the deputy reported that there were two dogs identified as pit bulls, in the car. A baby, who was reported as being nude and covered in excrement was in the vehicle without a car seat.

It was reported that the deputy asked the driver to get out of the car several times, but the man would not cooperate. He allegedly rolled down the window far enough for the dogs to fit their head through and made threatening comments that led the deputy to believe he might allow them to attack him.
