Description
Todd Bates was convicted of violating Spokane County's dog ordinance. Mr. Bates appealed his district court conviction to the superior court where it was affirmed. On discertionary review to this court, he contends the court erred in: (1) finding Spokane County Code 5.04.070(6) does not require proof of knowledge as an element of the offense, (2) admitting hearsay evidence which violated his right to confrontation, and (3) admitting improper character evidence about him. We conclude Spokane County Code 5.04.070(6) is a strict liability statute and does not require proof of knowledge as an element of the offense. We affirm Mr. Bates's conviction.
