Pierce County, WA – Pierce County deputies responded to two separate incidents over the weekend, including an alleged case of animal abuse and a DUI-related hit-and-run crash that resulted in two arrests.
According to the Pierce County Sheriff’s Office, Animal Control received a report on October 17 of a male individual allegedly abusing a dog, supported by Ring Camera evidence. The following day, officers executed a warrant and seized the animal. A local veterinarian determined that the dog had no major injuries, and it was placed in the custody of the Humane Society pending a bond and judicial review. No arrests have been made in the case as of Monday.
In a separate incident on October 19 around 8:00 p.m., deputies responded to reports of a vehicle that had collided with two fences. Authorities say a 25-year-old woman was allegedly driving under the influence with a 32-year-old male passenger when the crash occurred. The pair allegedly tried to flee but were detained after officers immobilized the vehicle.
The woman was booked into Pierce County Jail for DUI, two counts of hit and run, and obstruction, while the male passenger was booked for obstruction. Open containers of alcohol were reportedly found inside the vehicle.
