Woman used pit bull to murder a man: Police 21 hrs ago

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/crime/woman-used-pit-bull-to-murder-a-man-police/ar-BBYUJ3T?ocid=spartanntp'
<snip>
Melissa D. Wolke, 38, was picked up early Friday morning near Mount Vernon, Kentucky, after cops received a call that she and the dog were assaulting a man, according to the arrest document. When the officers arrived, they found Wolke allegedly beating Donald W. Abner, 55, while the dog continued to maul the victim, police said.

Wolke allegedly refused an officer’s order to stand down, and she and the dog were shot with a Taser, according to police. The pit bull ran toward one of the officers in an “aggressive manner, and gave the officer no option but to eliminate the dog,” the complaint said.

Abner suffered severe dog bite wounds to his face and neck and was declared dead, police said.

In addition to the murder charge, Wolke was arraigned on four other criminal counts including alcohol intoxication, disorderly conduct and resisting arrest, according to the Rockcastle County Detention Center.

A man who called authorities said he heard Wolke give the dog "commands to attack," according to the report.

Wolke told officers at the scene that she was "going 'redneck' on the male subject, and she had released her pit bull on the male," police said in the report.

The dog was near the victim and behaving aggressively when a responding trooper arrived, and he couldn't help the man, according to the report. The officer "had no option but to eliminate the dog" by opening fire, it said.

Wolke was "belligerent and aggressive" at the scene, police said.

"She appeared to have blood on her hands and feet, and had a large clump of hair in her hands that was consistent with the victim's hair," police said.

I think the spots on her face are either dirt or the victim's blood, not scabs.

I live in KY, and I don't know what that means either. I do live among many rednecks, and a bunch of them have pitbulls (the nasty kind).

Mt. Vernon is south of Lexington, near the border with TN.

who idealize an often-violent lowbrow “country” lifestyle, aka hillbillies, shitkickers, goat-ropers, trailer trash, etc.

but language tends to be flexible when coupled with impairment and intoxication.

(actually language is a pretty flexible thing in general .. and some think it is becoming increasingly so with other changes to society. food for thought.)
