Texas Woman Faces Charges After Dog Attacks 3-Year-Old Girl
February 10, 2021
The owner of a dog that attacked a 3-year-old girl at a suburban Houston restaurant in January has been charged with injury to a child and tampering with evidence.
Jennifer Romano, 46, has been charged in the Jan. 9 attack on Ronin Waldroup. Authorities allege that Romano’s dog, a Staffordshire Bull Terrier named Kingston, bit Ronin in the face during an unprovoked attack as the girl and her family were waiting in line to order at a restaurant in the Houston suburb of Spring.
Ronin received at least 14 stitches after the attack and she is expected to undergo plastic surgery to lessen the disfigurement of her face, according to court records.
