Terrell police have arrested the owner of a dog that attacked eight children at a bus stop earlier this month.

The incident took place around 7:45 a.m. on May 10, when a brown and white pit bull began attacking children near the entrance to Heather Lane Apartments. Some of the children were hospitalized, while others suffered only minor injuries.

Police said they determined Friday that the dog's owner was Kathy Fuller, whom they arrested on an unrelated charge.

Fuller faces charges of having a dangerous dog, interfering with public duties and tampering with physical evidence, police said.

Terrell Animal Control is in possession of the dog, which has not shown any signs of rabies in 14 days after the attack, Terrell police Cpl. Boyd said. Because most dogs show show symptoms within 10 days of contracting rabies and die shortly after, officials are optimistic it does not have the disease.

The dog will remain in quarantine until the mandatory holding period ends.

Police are still investigating and may make additional arrests, Boyd said.
