State of Indiana ── Case No.: 21A-CR-02159 Court: Indiana Court of Appeals Date: June 15, 2022 Author: Judge Elizabeth Tavitas County of Origin: Dearborn Category: Criminal Decision: Affirmed Judge Riley and Judge May concur Stubbers was the owner of a mastiff dog named Cooper. Cooper, a large dog weighing approximately 180 pounds, was generally a very friendly dog. Cooper would often leave Stubbers’ yard even though Stubbers had installed an “invisible” electric fence and used other methods to keep him in the yard. When Cooper escaped, he would often go to the neighboring home of Adam and Tricia Collins. Cooper was not neutered and sometimes attempted to mount the Collinses’ dog, Thunder, and even the Collinses’ children. Still, the Collinses did not fear Cooper.
