A 40-year-old man was charged Wednesday with allowing his pit bull to get loose, with the dog subsequently injuring a police officer in Orange.
Nicholas Arvid Wilson was charged with a felony count of allowing a vicious animal at large causing great bodily injury as well as misdemeanor counts of unlawful transportation of syringe waste and possession of a weapon on park property.

Further details were not immediately available from police.

Now this poor innocent dog that was just unlucky to have a terrible owner will be put to death surely. So sad. God be with you forever sweet puppy. AMEN. So sad. Loser.
