According to a Summerville Police Department incident report, police were dispatched to 123 Woods Street on Friday, October 9, at approximately 10:37 PM, after receiving a complaint about Great Danes running loose in the neighborhood.
The complainant, identified as 54-year-old Carla Kelly, told police that the dogs had been scaring residents and chasing people. She said the dogs belonged to a neighbor at 127 Woods Street.
Kelly told police that her son had been forced to take cover inside a vehicle when the dogs came outside and began approaching him.
