Timeline: The Dog Poisoning Case

The announcement we reported Tuesday that the Bricklayer's Local 3 had terminated Kenneth Hyland, 53, of Everett likely marks the last we'll hear of this story for the foreseable future.

Hyland is now in the criminal justice system and is also facing unrelated charges. Working his way through may take some time.

A concerned resident also informs Durty Harry's, which begins spreading word of the incident on the store's Facebook page.
