“Dogs are required to be on a leash or be confined. They can’t be out roaming free,” Sgt. Sam Worsham of Sandy Springs police told Channel 2. “Owners can face charges and penalties for having their dogs loose.”
Others living in the apartment complex told Channel 2 they have seen loose dogs running in the area. Police believe the pit bull belongs to a resident living in the complex.
