BLOOMINGTON, Ind. — Three Bloomington police officers were reportedly wounded in a dog attack they say was ordered by the animals' owner.
A Bloomington police officer spotted a woman who was known to have active warrants for her arrest along the B-Line Trail near West Country Club Drive Friday, Aug. 2. While the officer attempted to take the woman into custody, police say she ran away and ordered her dogs to attack the officer multiple times.
The officer was bitten multiple times by the dogs, according to a police report.
Two other officers who helped take the woman into custody were also bitten on the thigh when she reportedly ordered the dogs to attack.
The woman was taken to jail for the active warrants, along with preliminary charges of resisting law enforcement and three counts of battery on a public safety officer resulting in injury.
