Muskogee police have arrested the parents of a three-year old after a pit bull attack.

Muskogee police arrested 22-year old Chelsea Richardson on outstanding warrants and child endangerment. 33-year old James Richardson has been arrested for outstanding warrants not connected to the dog attack.

Muskogee police say the family’s dog attacked the child. They say the child appeared to have multiple bites. Investigators say the child was taken to Tulsa by helicopter for treatment.

Animal control took the dog into custody for rabies testing.

Sad story. I have been around pitbulls most of my life and have never witnessed a pitbull attack. Hope the child recovers.
