The summons issued Patrolman William Palmer, according to court records, has yet to be scheduled for a hearing.

The incident took place on May 20 in the latter part of the afternoon.

A woman walking her dog on Jefferson Street.  according to witnesses on the scene and authorities,  approached the fenced in yard on  the quiet residential street. The incident became an attack  as two American Staffordshire terriers, also known as pitbulls, crashed through the wooden fence in an effort to get to the small dog.  One of the terriers bit the tip of  finger of the hand of the owner’s grandmother, attacked its housemate and caused unknown injuries to the small dog, officials said.

According to Police Chief Arnold Porter, who cited borough ordinances, levied fines could top out at $1,000 for Ingelido.
