Woman with dogs that ran on freeway banned from having pets
Source: AP
LOS ANGELES (AP) Prosecutors say a woman arrested following a car chase while her six dogs ran into California freeway lanes had been banned from having pets because of a pending animal abuse case.
The Los Angeles Times reports (http://lat.ms/20gEpBE) Tiffini Tobe appeared in court Wednesday in connection with the chase and pleaded not guilty to several charges including driving under the influence.
The 47-year-old was arrested Monday after a pursuit that ended when a CHP vehicle knocked her Mercedes sideways on Interstate 710 in Long Beach.
In June she was charged with a misdemeanor count of keeping an animal without proper care after one of her pit bulls was seen with an exposed bone. Prosecutors say the dog had chewed off its own leg.

(11,093 posts)and a few have run into the freeway, which is just a nightmare for everyone involved, but I've never had one that had to chew off its own leg. That's just horrible.

(27,845 posts)This woman needs to go to jail, for at least 6 months, or longer.
Her previous charge was a only a misdemeanor; despite the fact that her dog had chewed off it's own leg.
Since she violated the court order banning her from having pets, she now needs to go directly to jail, (Do not pass GO, do not collect $200)
I have absolutely NO sympathy for this woman!
