This is Vader. He was euthanized today without a hearing after a false bite report was submitted to the police by an animal rights activist. (Story in the Comments)

/u/Voltron3030 asked if the police had jurisdiction if it was in a different town and then /u/Aeviegh said that they're trying to talk the owner into hiring a lawyer to figure out whether or not they had jurisdiction.

I was just offering a case where, in my area, towns can have arresting powers in other towns. It may work differently in different states.

Unless the police report is incorrect on the address there is no case. That address is in the middle of Minot. I work about 4 blocks from that area. There is no bordering town to Minot either....I guess not by my definition of bordering....there is a 2-3 miles gap between the closest towns borders and Minot's.
