A 24-year-old Goleta man was arrested over the weekend after two canines belonging to him broke through a fence, into the neighbor’s property, and attacked the neighbor in Goleta, California. As stated in the accident reports, the mishap took place just before noon on Sunday, April 12.

Reporting the incident, the Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Department said the vicious attack went down at about 11:30 am on San Milano Drive.

The dogs reportedly belonged to Armando Coronado and had previous records of violence, according to accounts obtained from residents.

Following the attack, one of the neighbors was able to successfully restrain the dogs, preventing further damages until sheriff’s deputies arrived.

Residents around the San Milano Drive area directed the responding officers to Coronado’s residence, as revealed in a statement by the county sheriff’s office spokesperson, Raquel Zicks.

Officers took the Goleta man into custody on charges of possession of a mischievous animal that caused serious bodily injury. The jail records obtained did not specify the terms of bail.
