Men behaving badly: A man walking his dog in Yorkville drew the ire of a father who didn’t appreciate him yelling at his kids to keep them from running up and trying to pet her, Wednesday. The father claimed the man threatened to release his dog, but denied a physical altercation. Another parent said she heard the dog’s owner yell at the kids to stay away and her boyfriend went with the other man to speak with him about yelling at the children, and admitted her boyfriend mentioned having a gun on his person but denied him brandishing it or threatening the dog’s owner. The dog’s owner said several children came running up and while his dog is usually good around people, he didn’t feel comfortable allowing them to pet her, so he yelled at them to stay back. He said the two men were upset he’d yelled at the kids, and the younger one grabbed his waistband and told him he had a gun and threatened to shoot his dog if he turned her loose, but he said he didn’t threatened him with it.
