The Denver City Attorney’s Office has filed a motion to dismiss the case against the owner of a dog that bit 9News anchor Kyle Dyer in February.
Vincent DiCroce, director of prosecution and code enforcement for the city and county of Denver, told 9News “After reviewing the totality of circumstances and after consulting with the victim in the case, we asked to have the case dismissed.”
On February 8, an 85 pound Argentine mastiff named Max bit Kyle Dyer during a live interview in the 9News studios.
The day before, firefighters rescued Max from an icy pond, which was broadcast live via a Sky9 video feed.
Max’s owner, Michael Robinson, originally faced municipal charges of a leash law violation and a “dog attack or bite” charge. The case was scheduled for a jury trial on Wednesday.
Max underwent a standard 10-day quarantine at the Denver Animal Control division, which ended Feb. 18, when he returned home to Robinson.
Kyle Dyer is continuing to recover from her injuries. She says she’s glad the case is finally over.
