A Gloucester woman has been cited after police say her two unleashed pit bulls bit a leashed dog yesterday morning.
Maylyn McGillivary, 23, of 20 Columbia St., was issued a $10 fine for an unleashed dog violation.
Police were called to School Street at 8:05 p.m. on reports that a dog was bit by two unleashed pit bulls. When police arrived, they found the leashed dog bleeding and saw the pit bulls running away.
The officers followed two pit bulls to 20 Columbia St., where they were let in by McGillivary. When police questioned the dog owner, she told them she had had the dogs for three weeks. According to police reports, the dogs were not licensed in the city, McGillivary did not have any rabies shot information and did not know the address and phone number of the person from whom she bought the dogs.
Firefighters and emergency medical technicians at the scene identified the dogs as the ones who chased two local boys into the Central Fire Station last week. The dogs also match the description of two dogs who attacked another dog last week.
Yesterday's incident remains under investigation.
No information was available about the condition of the bitten dog.
