KEARNEY, Neb. (AP) — A Kearney woman who attacked two people and a dog that later died has been sentenced to four year in prison.
26-year-old Desiree Deherrera was sentenced last week in Buffalo County District Court. She was convicted of strangulation, making terroristic threats, animal cruelty and assault.
Police say officers were called to a Kearney home in February for a fight involving two women and a man. Arriving officers were met by a man who said Deherrera was killing his dog.
Police found Deherrera on top of a German shepherd mix surrounded by blood. Police say she had stabbed the dog several times and attacked the man when he tried to stop her.
