Sparks police arrested a man after a 10-year-old child was sent to the emergency room with extensive dog bite injuries.

Police arrested the animals' owner, Zacchaeus Williams, who is charged with child endangerment and is in custody at the Washoe County Detention Facility.

Police received a report on Monday that the boy had been treated at Renown Regional Medical Center for injuries related to bites from the family's dogs, according to a news release from Sparks police. The boy required surgery to repair internal injuries.

The same boy also suffered wounds from the dogs that required medical treatment on Jan. 8, according to Washoe County animal control.

Sparks police worked with Washoe County Regional Animal Services and Washoe County Child Protective Services to have the animals removed from the residence and maintained by animal control.
