Suspected Dog Poisoner Denies Charges, Held on $5,000 Bail

Kenneth Hyland, 53, of Everett—the man suspected of poisoning dogs on Medford Street—told a judge today he denied the charges against him.

Hyland, who caught regional attention after a Charlestown resident confronted him on Sunday, Sept. 16 and told police that he believed the landscaper was poisoning dogs, confronted the judge Monday in Charlestown District Court. He was arrested Friday.

The judge ordered that Hyland be held on $5,000 bail, according to the Boston Herald. The Herald also reported that Hyland has outstanding court cases in both Lynn and Woburn.
