FREDERICKSBURG, Va. -- A 60-year-old woman and her son are facing charges after allegedly sending authorities on a wild dog chase, Spotsylvania County authorities said.
The charges stem from a pit bull attack. Sandra Manes and 32-year-old Michael Baggett face charges including obstruction of justice and filing a false police report, according to the Spotsylvania County Sheriff's Office.
Manes suffered numerous bites and broke her shin bone and finger during the Aug. 2 attack. Her Labrador was euthanized due to life-threatening injuries.
Manes originally stated that she was walking her dog when a dog ran toward her and started attacking her dog.
An anonymous tip led authorities to Baggett, who told police his pit bull attacked his mother and her dog.
