A man bitten by a neighbor’s bullmastiff started two fights leading to the dog’s death, a deputy testified Monday. Dwayne Motes, 52, and his sons Nicholas, 28, and Matthew, 27, faced charges in Magistrate Court Monday morning including cruelty to animals, battery and reckless conduct after an alleged fight on July 26. Dwayne Motes’ case was moved on to Superior Court because his attorney did not appear for the probable cause hearing.
