Photos: Molly the Pit Bull



A Joliet woman is claiming a ComEd employee pepper sprayed her dog unprovoked Friday morning. Sarah Glover, of the 500 block of Bellarmine Drive in Joliet, said she let her pit bull Molly outside at around 9:30 a.m. and then heard crying shortly after.

"The ComEd employee was standing by my fence with his pepper spray pointing at her and said 'Put your f-----g dog in the house or I'm going to spray her again,'" Glover said. Glover said the dog's eyes were swollen shut and she was crying.

"This dog is absolutely no threat to anybody," she said.

According to Glover, this is not the first time an animal has been abused by the ComEd employee. She said the same man had come through the area before and tried to hit another dog with a hammer.

"ComEd has done nothing about this employee," Glover said. "We've reported him numerous times."

Glover said the man was not there to do any work on her house and the dog was confined to the yard by a fence. Glover said she's contacted ComEd about the incident, but the company refused to give her the name of the man or any other information.
