The owner of two dogs that got into a neighbor's Volusia County home through a doggie door and killed the neighbor's two dogs is being charged in the attack.
- Pit bulls got out of Holly Hill yard, killed neighbor's dogs
- Police received complaints about dogs in the past
- Owner has been charged in last week's attack
Holly Hill Police said Monday that Christina Speicher has been charged with attack by a known dangerous dog, a first-degree misdemeanor.
Speicher was responsible for confining her dogs to her home or to immediately notify Animal Control if the dogs escaped confinement, which she failed to do in this case, police said. The department had received complaints in the past about the pit bulls.
Speicher's dogs escaped their backyard last week and entered the home of Marilyn Grimes through a doggie door, police said. Grimes' two dogs -- a Chihuahua named Buck and a border collie named Buck -- were found dead in their home Wednesday afternoon.
The City of Holly Hill now has the pit bulls. Speicher signed over custody and euthanasia forms for both animals.
