Police Probe Brutal Pit Bull Attack That Left Cashew Hill Woman Injured
Police are investigating a frightening pit bull attack that left a 27-year-old Cashew Hill woman nursing multiple bite wounds after visiting a relative’s home in Skerritt’s Pasture on Friday afternoon.
The victim, Shabo Nedwell, remains hospitalized in stable condition after sustaining deep puncture wounds to both legs and a torn lip. Medical staff described the injuries as serious but not life-threatening.
The dogs’ owner, Stacy Simon, told authorities that her niece arrived unexpectedly at around 3:40 p.m. and entered through the back door without prior notice. Moments later, Simon said she heard “terrifying screams” and rushed to restrain the two pit bulls.
Neighbours reported hearing the commotion and said the scene was chaotic as family members scrambled to subdue the animals and get Nedwell to medical care.
The incident, which unfolded at Simon’s home in Skerritt’s Pasture, has reignited public debate about the control of aggressive dog breeds and the responsibility of owners to properly secure their pets.
Law enforcement officials confirmed that the matter remains under active investigation, with no word yet on whether the animals will be seized or if charges will be filed.
