Woman arrested after giving dogs drugs

Around 4:40 p.m. on Sunday, police went to a home along Southwest 10th Street near South May Avenue and spoke with a person who claimed a woman told her earlier in the afternoon that she had given dogs drugs, according to a probable cause affidavit. The reporting party told police that the woman said, "I gave the dogs dope" and "(Expletive) them dogs, they can die."

The affidavit states the dogs weren't at the home when officers arrived and were with their owner, who told police he left the home that morning with the dogs. He also told police that he was afraid to return to the home because of the woman's recent behavior.

The owner told police that he found one of the two dogs dead in his truck around 4:20 p.m. He said the dog, a red-nose pit bull, had been acting out of character for about two days, according to the affidavit.

The pit bull had a loss of appetite, stopped drinking water, was walking in circles, panting and pacing around, the affidavit states the owner told police. The other dog appeared to be acting normal.
