Edgewater police Wednesday issued charges against the owner of a Rottweiler and a pit bull involved in chasing a mail carrier and then attacking two officers Monday afternoon.
Mario Carlos Gonzales, 46, faces six counts — three for each of two dogs — of having a vicious animal, animals running at large and failure to have rabies inoculation and tag.
An officer shot and killed the Rottweiler after it attacked the police, but the Gonzales family has hidden the pit bull, police spokesman Steven Davis said.
Gonzales will have to answer to a municipal judge at 9 a.m. Tuesday.
All the charges are municipal misdemeanors. Each count carries up to $999 in fines and 180 days in jail.
