CHARLOTTE — Days after two dogs attacked two women in University City, the owner has been charged, Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police say.
CMPD issued two citations to the dog’s owner, who still has not been named:
- Unprovoked Bite (Class 3 Misdemeanor)
- Leash Law Violation (Class 3 Misdemeanor)
The citations mean the owner won’t be arrested or detained but may still have to appear in court.
