Angelina Williams, 27, of Cleveland and her boyfriend, Taylor Marvin-Brown, have been arrested on separate charges of endangering children and obstructing justice, after police responded to a 911 call in the early evening of August 17 that a pit bull had “bitten a 6-year-old child on the neck and ear.” Upon arrival, officials found the child in “serious condition,” and he was quickly flown to the hospital. Angelina Williams, Robert Michalski and Taylor Marvin-Brown are in police custody after Williams’ six-year-old son was attacked by a pit bull During a search of the house on August 18, investigators found Michalski hiding with his dog in a “cubbyhole upstairs,” at which point deputies took all three adults into custody. Tunnell said it was at this point that the boy fell to the ground and was attacked by the pit bull, which caused “severe and serious lacerations to the child’s neck” and a “significant amount of bleeding.” Williams held her head in her hands while listening to the account of what happened to her son.
