PORT HURON, Mich. (AP) - Prosecutors are charging two Port Huron dog owners with having unlicensed dogs in connection with the fatal mauling of a 22-year-old woman.
The Times Herald of Port Huron reports (https://bwne.ws/20oRyH0 ) that the 90-day misdemeanors against Andrew Miller and Jessica Johnson were authorized Wednesday. The charges also can carry $500 fines.
Authorities have said Rebecca Hardy climbed a fence Dec. 3 where the pit bull and husky were kept. She then was pulled into the yard by the dogs.
Hardy’s death has been ruled a suicide because authorities believe she knew the risk of climbing over a fence and entering the yard. Tests also showed she was drunk and had used cocaine and marijuana at some point before her death.
The two dogs and a puppy were later euthanized.
