A Patterson man was arrested for a leash law violation after his dog reportedly bit a child riding a bike Monday.

Richard Brinlee, 58, of Trina Street in Patterson was arrested at 4:48 p.m. at his home, Sheriff Mark Hebert said.

The responding deputy was told the dog came out of the owner’s yard and bit the 12-year-old boy on the leg while he was riding his bike, Hebert said.

The boy was transported to Teche Regional Medical Center in Morgan City for treatment of two puncture wounds. Brinlee was released on a summons to appear in court Jan. 16, 2013.

St. Mary Parish Sheriff’s Narcotics Division agents patrolling the Bayou Vista area observed a vehicle fail to signal a turn. When agents conducted a traffic stop, the driver, identified as Stansbury, fled on foot. Agents pursued Stansbury but lost sight of him. A bag of marijuana was located in the area where Stansbury fled, Hebert said.

Agents saw a vehicle continually driving around that same area, so a second traffic stop was made. The driver was identified as Anthony Watts. Three children were in the vehicle, none of which were properly restrained, the report stated.. Agents saw Stansbury attempting to hide on the floorboard under the legs of the minors in the vehicle, the sheriff said.

No bail has been set for any of those arrested in this investigation.
