JACKSON - Last week's East Coast earthquake has delayed the federal trial of a Mississippi sheriff's deputy accused of allowing his police dog to attack a man for no reason.
The trial of Billy Charles Scott Jr. had been scheduled to begin Monday in federal court in Aberdeen. Authorities asked for a delay last week because a federal prosecutor involved in the case needed to go home to Washington when his house was damaged by the Aug. 23 earthquake that rattled the East Coast. The 5.8-magnitude earthquake was felt from Georgia to Canada.

A Cumberland County sheriff's deputy testified Monday that his tracking dog sniffed for about 20 minutes outside a Standish house where a home invasion had been reported, but failed to find any scent suggesting an assailant had run from the home.
Alfred Winslow, the deputy who worked with the dog, named Jag, said the German shepherd picked up relatively fresh scents among the cars parked in Linda and Jeffrey Dolloff's driveway and next to the garage, along with an older track leading to the house next door owned by Dolloff's brother. But the dog detected nothing outside any doors or windows in Linda and Jeffrey Dolloff's home.
