Yorktown resident Patricia Sauber, age 62, was served a criminal summons for failing to license and vaccinate her dog on Tuesday, May 23, according to the Yorktown Police Department.

The summons stemmed from an incident on Wednesday, April 26 just before 6 p.m., when Yorktown officers received a report of an alleged dog bite. An investigation revealed that the dog, owned by Sauber, was allegedly not licensed and had not been vaccinated for rabies at the time.

After Sauber was processed on the two charges, she was released on her own recognizance and will appear in court on Thursday, June 15.
