Chief Klang asked Police Officer Sheri Fyle to give a synopsis of what happened that evening. Police Officer Sheri Fyle stated that she was called to this address by the child's father Bryce Raduenz. She stated that when she got there Mr. Raduenz was out in the driveway along with the female owner of the dog, Jill Bjornaraa-Rose and the property owner Bud Bjornaraa. Officer Fyle stated that she was informed that the victim was a five year old boy and his mom was bringing him to the ER to get his injuries checked out. She was also told that the child had a bite to his face and his finger. Officer Fyle stated that the story she got from everyone was there was the boy whose name is Riker and he was walking up the stairs on an attached deck in front of the house when he was bit by the dog. She stated that he sustained an injury to his face and his finger and in the process of getting bit he had fallen and hit his head, therefore he also had a bump on his head. Officer Fyle stated when she got there the dog was in the house in a back bedroom and she learned that his name is Jax, a five year old lab. She stated that during the bite the dog was not provoked. Officer Fyle said the female owner Mrs. Bjornaraa-Rose that she was talking to outside thought that the dog was being protective of the house and the residence, which is typical for most dogs. Officer Fyle said she asked Mrs. Bjornaraa- Rose if the dog had ever bit anyone before and Officer Fyle had said she was very hesitant on answering that question. She stated that she finally rephrased the question and asked if the dog ever been issued a potentially dangerous dog or a dangerous dog � paper in the past and Mrs. Bjornaraa-Rose said no. Officer Fyle said she went inside and spoke to Craig Rose and he was then issued the potentially dangerous dog paperwork. She advised that he send in the paperwork for the hearing if he wanted to do that within the 14 days. Officer Fyle stated that she was told Jax the dog was current on vaccinations and that he had a microchip. She said Craig Rose did supply the rabies paperwork she believed the following day in that same email that he requested the hearing. Officer Fyle stated that once she was done inside she went outside and talked to Mr. Raduenz, the dad of the little boy. She stated that he was very concerned about this dog since apparently the dog has been aggressive in the past but has not been reported to law enforcement. Officer Fyle said it sounded like an offspring of the same dog has bit Mr. Raduenz in the past and that was not reported to any law enforcement agency. She stated that Mr. Raduenz is worried about the continued aggression with this dog. Officer Fyle said she did get a chance to meet up with the five-year-old when they got back from the ER and he looked pretty scared. She said he did have his injuries bandaged up therefore she has only been able to see the same pictures as in the packet.
