Woman Pleads Guilty After Pitbull Bites Three

A Leicester woman’s pitbull unleashed chaos outside a hotel, biting three people—including kids—before police intervened. The owner, Simone Slater, tried to muzzle the dog but slapped and pushed an officer while allegedly struggling with addiction. With a history of 17 prior offenses, including assaulting emergency workers, Slater’s defense claimed the dog was mistreated and not dangerous. But the judge called her “woefully lacking” in care. She also faced charges from last March when she swallowed a ring, abused officers, and threatened staff. Slater pleaded guilty to multiple charges, including endangering the public and assaulting officers. The prosecution wanted the dog destroyed, but the judge deferred sentencing until August, leaving jail time very much on the table.
