Born to Race

Chapter 19

The police and RSPCA officers were gathered in a room. Discussing what to do about Jaxon Presly.

"Now we know he has broken the law several times in the past. Now he is abusing greyhounds. Does he have any relatives?" the police chief asked.

"Yes, his daughter, my step daughter and his ex-wife both live with me now. But he used to hurt them and was drunk a lot," Tony told them, shaking his head in disapproval.

"So we should send Andrew and Harry, with three police officers as well," the chief said. "It's that simple, get the dogs, arrest Jaxon, and get out."

"You're right, we have all the evidence, and the ex-wife reported him," an RSPCA officer said.

The officers all got up, the meeting dismissed. Harry and Andrew were sent in a van to follow the cop cars and go to Jaxon's house. The cops would wait to stop the man from escaping or harming anyone. Tony was ready for anything.

"This is my property, I don't need any cops!" he said.

"We have a right to remove any dogs being abused here," Andrew said.

"That's bull-" Jaxon was interrupted as two police officers parked in the driveway and got out of the car.

He looked afraids now, outnumbered by the tow RSPCA officers and three armed cops.

"I advise that you step aside Mr. Presley, or we will have to remove you." Officer Toby said.

Jaxon did not move, he did not even flinch. Toby walked up to him and glared at the criminal.

"You hurt my wife and my step-daughter, now you answer to me, so move aside before I tell Cory and Stevie to forcefully move you."

"Fine," Jaxon whispered and stepped out of the way.

The RSPCA went to the backyard and put the dogs into carryable cages. It was a struggle to get the fearful dogs inside, but with some treats and coaxing they managed to secure all the greyhounds and the one whippet.

"Hey! Those are my dogs!" Jaxon stormed over and shouted.

"Jaxon Presly you're under arrest! You have had a history of crimes such as fighting in a bar and participating in illegal dog fights! Your greyhounds are over bred and neglected, your whippet doesn't get much attention either I assume."

"I'll sue you! I will you bloody bast-" Jaxon was cut off again before he swore.

Cory and Stevie grabbed his arms and handcuffed him. Jaxon fought and elbowed Stevie. But with Tony's help they wrestled him to the ground.

"Don't try to fight! Fighting a police officer is a disrespectful and disobedient thing to do. I advise that you don't do it," Tony said.

"I promise I ain't doing anything bad to those dogs! I swear it!" he yelled.

"Tell that to the judge," Stevie said as he helped Jaxon stand up and bring him out to the cop cars.

Tony watched as he was shoved inside. Then the cops got into their cars and began to drive off to the police station. The RSPCA officers took the dogs into their truck and drove off in another direction.
