So, it sounds as if you were cited for the dog roaming separately and the dog bit someone. If this is the case then you'll have to deal with that.
I'd tell em to pack sand on the bargain.
Based on everything you've stated I see no way they could prove you knowingly or unknowingly allowed the livestock to roam. You have documentation showing your management of the livestock I presume and if the police incident report mentions cut locks, missing cameras etc,,,,,,
The burden of proof is on the Prosecutor. I'd grill him on the evidence he intends to present to try to persuade him to drop the charges or loose a case in court. He will have to prove you were negligent.
