2 arrested, pit bull shot after allegedly attacking Kentucky deputy

WILLISBURG, Ky. (FOX 56) — Two people have been arrested after a dog allegedly attacked a Washington County deputy on Monday.

According to the sheriff’s office, around 7:20 p.m., two deputies stopped at a home in Willisburg for a narcotics investigation. The deputies reportedly found that the resident was “trafficking synthetic drugs.”

The office said one of the owners came to the door and let out a pitbull-mix-looking dog. When the deputies asked the owner to put the dog away, it allegedly attacked a deputy, causing “multiple puncture wounds to his arm.”

The deputy tried to spray the dog with pepper spray, but when the dog did not release, the dog was shot to prevent further bodily injury.
