Two people were taken to the hospital Wednesday morning after being bitten by a dog on McHenry Street.
The dog broke off its chain in the back yard of a home in the 1900 block of McHenry Street about 10 a.m., according to a report from Hopkinsville Police, which says it bit two people. Both victims were taken by EMS to Jennie Stuart Medical Center.
The victims told police the dog had a previous bite history and its owner, 48-year old Debra Howard of Hopkinsville, was cited into court for harboring a vicious animal.
The dog was surrendered by Howard and taken to the local animal shelter.
