CLARKSBURG, W.Va. — Deputies in Harrison County arrested a woman after she reportedly harassed a neighbor’s dogs and threatened them with a knife.
On Nov. 15, deputies arrived at a Clarksburg residence and made contact with Cassandra Nutter, who had a bleeding laceration on her left hand.
Nutter told deputies she heard the neighbors’ dogs on the porch and was afraid they were killing her kittens and was bitten on the hand by a brown pit bull.
Deputies were then given access to surveillance video that showed Nutter in the backyard near the neighbors’ fence yelling at the brown pit bull. In the video she can be heard saying “come here” while swinging a knife.
The dog can be seen approaching the fence and barking at the woman with two other dogs.
Deputies said Nutter then admitted to yelling at the dogs and swinging a knife at them right before her hand was injured.
Nutter has been charged with animal cruelty.
