Can he be forced to pay the vet bills?

Get all receipts and police reports, you need to go through official channels with these yahoos, pay the vet now and make this garbage pay later

If he is charged with dangerous or nuisance dog vet bills can be part of the court ordered restitution. And yes 100% call the police and talk to the animal control officer. (Animal control officer here. Not for Bangor though. )

As others have commented, he might be forced to pay if he is cited with violations. Or, you may have to take him to small claims court. But you definitely need to file a police report, file a report with your city's animal control officer, and keep a paper/photo trail of everything. Good luck.
