5-2-4: IMPOUND:
If there is substantial evidence that any animal has been allowed to run loose or to disturb the peace in violation of this chapter, the sheriff, deputy or other law enforcement officer may impound the offending animal if the law enforcement officer reasonably believes the animal may, in the future, repeat the offense. If, within five (5) days after the animal is impounded, the owner has not obtained an order from the justice court judge of Wayne County or other appropriate court ordering the release of the animal, the animal may be destroyed in addition to fines that may be imposed pursuant to this chapter. The owner of any animal that is impounded must pay an impound fee as established by the town for each day the animal is impounded. (2016 Code)
