Youths Arrested After German Shepherd Attack on Man
A 16-year-old girl and a 17-year-old boy were charged with assault with intent to inflict great bodily injury after they allegedly directed a German shepherd to bite Robert D. Williams, 32, of 1810 Washington Ave SE. Williams required nine stitches for bites to his head, arms, stomach, and lips following the attack on a dead end road near Morrison School. Police say the youths and Williams exchanged obscenities and left Williams’ vehicle before walking in the area. The dog was directed to attack Williams by one youth, with the other confirming the order later. The couple were arrested Thursday morning after police ordered them to appear for questioning.
