Woman charged with criminal negligence in Sault dog attack

One person has been charged with a dog attack that left a Sault victim with life-threatening injuries.

A 49-year-old woman from Sault Ste. Marie has been charged with criminal negligence causing bodily harm in connection with a serious dog attack late last year.

Sault police said in a news release Friday the victim was attacked by 19 dogs and sustained “life-threatening injuries.”

Police responded to the incident Nov. 11 last year at a residence on Pentagon Boulevard.

“An investigation revealed a victim was attacked by multiple dogs at the accused’s residence,” police said.

“There were believed to be 19 dogs inside the residence at the time of the attack, and the two main aggressors were seized and held at a local humane society.”

The suspect was charged Feb. 20 and was held for a bail hearing.
