HOPE MILLS, N.C.

This isn't another dog-bites-man story. This is a dog-bites-the-deputy's-tires story.

The Fayetteville Observer reported that the Cumberland County Sheriff's Office said a pit bull deflated all four tires of a deputy's cruiser near Hope Mills on Sunday. Sheriff's spokeswoman Debbie Tanna says the deputy parked his car in a woman's driveway while responding to her complaint about another dog.

Tanna says that when Deputy Lynn Lavallis went to speak with Gloria Bass, her dog bit the four tires. The dog didn't attack the deputy.

Tanna says Bass will be billed for the $500 that the new tires cost.
