Dog Owners Charged In Pit Bull Attacks
Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy announced that 3 pit bull owners are being charged with felonies for failing to control a dangerous animal that caused serious injury. The charges arise out of 3 separate attacks by 4 pit bulls, one in Westland and two in
Dearborn Heights
, within the last 2 months. The 39-year-old victim of the
Westland
attack reportedly suffered wounds requiring more than 50 sutures. The first attack in
Dearborn Heights
resulted in face, jaw and arm wounds for the 51-year-old victim. In the last
Dearborn Heights
attack, both a 10-year-old girl and her 75-year-old rescuer suffered bites requiring 14-15 stitches each.
