Police say an Anchorage man has been charged with assault after commanding his pit bull to attack a woman Wednesday in Midtown.
The investigation began when a wounded woman arrived at a local hospital early Wednesday, said police spokesman Lt. Dave Parker. Someone at the hospital, either staff or the woman's friend, called police about 2:30 a.m., Parker said.
There were bite and scratch marks on woman's arms and legs, including multiple puncture wounds, police said. She was treated and released from the hospital, Parker said.
Officers later found Patillo at an apartment in the 3200 block of Latouche Street, police said. He gave them a false name and date of birth, but the officers talked to other witnesses who confirmed his identity, police said.
As the officers arrested Patillo, they found what appeared to be a small amount of cocaine in his wallet, police said.
