Story 2: On May 13th, officers were dispatched to the 800 block of Northbend Dr. in reference to two dogs that attacked a man in the street. A neighbor reportedly fired a shot, causing the dogs to disperse. The victim of the dog attack was a 28-year-old male. When officers arrived, the dogs were still running at large. The owner of the dogs was identified as 40-year-old Baytown resident Christina Martinez. Officers gave Martinez several chances to secure the two dogs as they ran through the neighborhood barking, but she was only able to contain one of them. Officers arrested her for allowing the animals to run at large.
The remaining loose dog charged at two officers and bit one of them in the knee. In response, the officer discharged his duty weapon at the dog in an attempt to stop the attack. The dog retreated into a nearby backyard until an Animal Control Officer arrived and took possession of both animals. Both victims, the officer and the 28-year-old male, were taken to Houston Methodist Hospital and treated for their injuries.
