(Portland, OR) -- A Portland man is facing less than a month behind bars after trying to sic his pitbull on a black man. "OregonLive" reports that Mathu Karcher told the victim in September that he was "in the wrong neighborhood" after trying to get his pit bull to attack him and hurling racist slurs at him. A Portland judge sentenced the 41-year-old Monday to 16 days in jail. Authorities say Karcher has a lifetime of drug, assault and criminal mischief convictions behind him.
