I guess the deputy was afraid of dogs. Purebred Pomeranians are 7 to 12 inches tall and weigh 3 to 7 pounds.

Nearly a year later, the bullet is still lodged in her shin. A lawsuit has been filed, of course.

COLUMBIA COUNTY, Ark. (KATV) — A lawsuit has been filed against a Columbia County deputy, the sheriff, and the sheriff's office after the deputy shoots at a dog, but strikes a woman standing on her front porch instead.

Tina Hight, the woman who was shot in August 2022, still has the bullet lodged in her shin. She's now not only dealing with anxiety but also continuous doctor's appointments.

She initially called 911 for help, but instead was shot on her own front porch she told Seven On Your Side.

In the video, Columbia County Deputy Brian Williams is heard shouting at the dog: “Get back, get your dog, I’ll kill this ************. Get your God**** dog."

Williams then fires a warning shot, but that quickly escalates.

Sheriff LeRoy Martin stands by his Deputy. Writing on Facebook:

A more nuanced take.
