A Hopkinsville man was cited into court Monday morning after his dog bit a police officer.
The dog was reportedly in front of the McDonalds entrance on Fort Campbell Boulevard and was attempting to bite people as they tried to go inside, according to the report. A police officer was bitten on the hand as he attempted to catch the dog and was treated and released from Jennie Stuart Medical Center.
The owner of the dog, 45-year old Matthew Hibbs of Hopkinsville, was cited into court for harboring a vicious animal and for violating ordinances regarding tags and dogs at large.
The dog was taken into custody of animal control, where it was determined it did not have a current vaccination.
