“We are aware of the situation and are continuing to gather additional information,” a spokesperson for the Volunteers said to the outlet Aug. 10.

The incident’s victim reportedly spotted Whitehorn while she was in a parking lot, going outside after she heard glass break around her house. That’s when things allegedly escalated into “a physical altercation” between the two and they started “wrestling/fighting.” The dog owned by the victim then got loose, causing things to break up as she went after it.
