Woman held in dog ransom plot at North Toledo bar.
Patrons feared bomb as pet was taped with wires, tossed into bar
Hector went on the ride of his life yesterday.
And it?s not one the dog or his owner want to remember.
The long-haired Chihuahua was dognapped and held for $50 ransom. He was bound with duct tape, a broken electrical device, and wires to look like a bomb. And he was thrown through the open front door of his owner?s North Toledo bar.
?It was hard [that] my dog showed up like that. [Hector] was shakin? and carryin? on, definitely disturbed,? said Jerry Dalton, 77, owner of Jerry?s Pub. ?It was strictly indescribable. My dog, I love him.?
Shortly after bar patrons panicked ? for they initially thought Hector was a bomb ? an East Toledo woman accused in the crime was handcuffed and booked into the Lucas County jail.
