Petitioning Woman Maced, Mauled By Police Dog
POSTED: 8:06 a.m. MST October 30, 2003

BERNALILLO, N.M. -- A woman who has been circulating a petition seeking removal of the Bernalillo mayor and a Bernalillo councilor was mauled by a police dog over the weekend following a chase.

Toni Osborn, of Bernalillo, was listed in satisfactory condition at University of New Mexico Hospital in Albuquerque.

Osborn's attorney, Brad Hall, said police were duped by information from people with a political interest in her silence.

Sandoval County Undersheriff Tim Lucero said his department received a call Sunday to investigate a pickup truck being driven by a woman who was destroying property and waving a firearm.

Lucero said Osborn's truck fled toward Albuquerque, where Albuquerque police used a special vehicle to pin the truck to an embankment. Osborn was reportedly Maced and a police dog was deployed after she refused to cooperate.

Authorities said she did not have a gun.

My take, she's a bit of a nut. Of course, just because you're paranoid doesn't mean people aren't out to get you.

Puts a much different spin on things.

No gun eh? But the dog still needed to be let loose on her? I wish I had more time to google or lexis-nexus this one. It'd be interesting to get an official police spokesmens statement....
