DEKALB COUNTY, Ga. -- DeKalb County police have decided to charge a dog owner in connection with the attack of an 8-year old girl.

Two dogs attacked Erin Ingram last week as she played in her front yard. Police helped free the girl from the snarling dogs after a neighbor called for help.

On Monday, police detectives obtained a warrant for the dog owner’s arrest.

Twyann Artrell Vaughn now faces one misdemeanor count of reckless conduct.

Ingram lost part of her left arm due to the severity of the attack and remains hospitalized at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta at Egleston.
