HAMILTON, Ohio—The owner of a pit bull is facing charges after the dog attacked a 5-year-old girl, fracturing her jaw and opening several wounds on her face, Butler County Sheriff Richard Jones said April 9.

The attack happened Saturday on Millikin Street in Hamilton, Jones said. The pit bull was previously labeled as a dangerous dog by Butler County’s dog wardens following a separate attack on a child in September 2018.
