JEANERETTE, LA (WAFB) -
A teenager
is trying to heal to get back in the saddle after he fell off a horse and was
bitten by a dog Sunday afternoon.
The St.
Mary Parish Sheriff's Office said Krystal Simon, 23, of Jeanerette was charged
in the incident.
Deputies
said a 15-year-old boy was riding a horse on Sorrel Road when a pit bull ran
into the street and attacked the horse.
They said
that's when the teen fell off and was bitten on the backside.
His
condition is unknown.
Simon was
issued a citation for violating the parish's leash law.
She was
released on a summons to appear in court in February.
Animal
control picked up the dog, which will be held for a 10-day observation period.
