It isn't until the other officer shoots his stun gun that the dogs run away.
As the officer tries to deal with a dog inside the home, two more dogs surround him. The officer tries to move away from them but the dogs pounce. He then tries to control them with a stick but they continue to move toward him.
The owner of the dogs, Jeffrey Monigle, was charged with failure to license, failure to vaccinate, animal nuisance and allowing dogs to roam.
Police said they found Tom Kucenski, a neighbor, suffering from several injuries after he said the dogs attacked him. The injuries are reportedly non-life-threatening.
Officials said animal control quarantined the dog responsible for attacking Kucenski.
