While Deji claimed that Tank had merely nipped his neighbor (who allegedly hit the dog over the head with a parcel), a speaker for the Cambridgeshire Police claimed that both the YouTuber and his father were charged on two counts of owning a dangerous dog. \u201cOlayinka Olatunji, 52, and Deji Olatunji, 22, were each charged with two counts of owning a dog that was dangerously out of control,\u201d the spokesperson stated in an interview with Metro UK. \u201cOne count with injury and one without.\u201d Tank was seized by police after reportedly attacking Deji\u2019s neighbor, who had come to collect a package from the front stoop of his home while the Olatunji family was away. Additional reports claim that Tank likewise attacked the neighbor\u2019s son-in-law, who Deji accused of \u201cwanting the dog to attack him, so he could make a claim.\u201d Furthermore, Deji speculated that law enforcement were training the dog as a police K-9, after being held in a kennel awaiting a charging decision \u2013 although authorities denied this claim. https:\/\/www.change.org\/p\/this-morning-a-petition-to-save-our-dog-tankDeji was made to sign an Acceptable Dog Contract following the incident, after which he and his family placed Tank in a kennel. According to Deji, police removed tank from the kennel into a police-approved holding unit, which Deji claimed to have no knowledge of beforehand.
