Before the attack, in May, Hickerson appeared in front of the animal control authorities for a hearing related to the previous incidents that involved her dogs, wrote detectives in loading documents. Her pets were classified as “dangerous dogs” by the Administrative Council, but Hickerson was not ordered to euthanize them, detectives wrote.

“However, the owner was ordered to engage in corrective actions, such as additional restrictions and prison,” detectives wrote. “Specifically, Pit Bulls were forced to be bitten with a basket muscle when outside the house and that the yard should be adequately restricted to prevent public dogs.”

Further information from the animal control session was not available on Friday. The health department of the city supervises the control of the animals and a spokesman said that the banner will have to submit a request under the law on public information in Maryland for hearing records.

At about two blocks, neighbor Will Fortune heard a bustle and went out when he saw the dogs coming. And he remembered that he saw the dogs attacking another of his neighbors and ran to help.

Fortune said another dog, which he did not see, threw and bite the other arm. He said he raised his arms with both dogs hanging by them and screaming: “Someone shoots these cursed dogs!”
