No Charges in Fatal Dog Attack
Comments 0 | Recommend 0No criminal charges are expected to be filed after an 11-month-old boy was fatally mauled when two Siberian huskies got into his playpen at a home where he was visiting.
Putnam County, Tenn. sheriff's Detective Jimmy Patterson said the district attorney did not think a crime had been committed. The dogs have both been destroyed.
Trey Paeth was pronounced dead Monday afternoon after he was mauled in a bedroom at a home just outside Cookeville.
Patterson said the boy's parents were at the home visiting friends. They are in the Marines, assigned to Florence, Alabama.
The adults were in another part of the house when the attack occurred and did not hear it.
The baby was taken to a hospital in Cookeville, where he was pronounced dead from the multiple bite wounds.
