BETHPAGE, N.Y. (CBSNewYork/AP) -- A Long Island man is accused of ordering his dog to attack a party guest during an argument.

George Jordan-Gonzalez, 24, punched the victim twice in the face after the two got into an argument at his Bethpage home on Hicksville Road around 2:45 a.m. Wednesday, Nassau County police said.
