| SUBJECT: | Kingsport Police Attempting to Locate English Bulldog Stolen during Residential Burglary | ||
| DATE: | November 27, 2018 | ||
| CASE #: | 18-031705 | ||
| GENERAL NARRATIVE | |||
| On November 23, 2018, a woman reported to the Kingsport Police Department that one of her dogs had been stolen during a burglary to her residence, located in the 800 block of Dale Street in Kingsport.
She stated that when she returned home that day at approximately 5:30 PM, she went to let her dogs out of their indoor kennels. She discovered that one of the kennels had been damaged and one of her dogs was missing. She also discovered that a window in the same room as the kennels was standing wide open, which is presumed to be the point of entry for the burglary. The dog that was stolen during the burglary is a one-year-old black and brown English Bulldog, that answers to the name “Gordo”, with a reported value of $3,500. The black and brown coloration is rare for this breed, so there are not likely many (if any) others like it in the area. The dog was wearing a platinum chain collar. A photograph of Gordo has been included in this release. A neighbor reported seeing a male and female couple with a dog that closely resembled Gordo behind a nearby apartment complex at approximately 4:30 PM that day. The male suspect was described as young, white, and slim, wearing a gray hooded sweatshirt, a white t-shirt, and blue jeans. The only description provided of the female suspect was that’s she had long brown hair. Anyone with any information to help locate Gordo or potentially identify the suspects in this burglary is asked to contact Detectives in the K.P.D. Criminal Investigations Division at 423-229-9429 or call Kingsport Central Dispatch at 423-246-9111. Alternatively, if an individual who is able to supply information related to this or any other case wishes not to be identified, tips can be submitted anonymously via online “Citizen Feedback” forms available at the following link: https://www.kingsporttn.gov/city-services/police-department/contact-us |

The outdoor trail that connects one end of Kingsport to the other has a new addition – the Buffalo Grasslands Boardwalk. Join us for a dedication on November 30 at 11:00 a.m. The boardwalk is located at the Greenbelt access point of Indian Trail Drive Trailhead, which is behind PetSmart.
The wooden boardwalk, built with uniquely treated Eastman A wood, is a quarter mile loop located in a wetlands marsh. The elevated walkway design allows the Reedy Creek floodwaters to pass under it while providing local wildlife, such as birds, frogs, and insects, a good home. Birdwatching is a popular hobby that can be done from just about anywhere on the boardwalk.
The project was partially funded through a Recreation Trails Program Grant of $120,000. These grants are administered by the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation.
Spoden and Wilson Consulting designed and engineered the boardwalk, while Building Character was the construction contractor. The boardwalk is ADA compliant.
