LISBON — The owner of the second dog accused of attacking and seriously injuring a woman on May 15 at Lake Tomahawk dropped her appeal over the vicious dog designation against her dog, Beau, last week.

Laurel Brothers, Youngstown, filed the complaint through her attorneys Chris Amato and Frank Williams against the Columbiana County Dog Warden Heidi Wallace, seeking a hearing in county Municipal Court to reverse the designation, claiming “the decision was arbitrary, capricious and unsupported by the evidence.”

But before the hearing, which was set for June 15, her counsel moved to dismiss the notice of appeal and complaint, saying she no longer wanted to move forward.

The dropping of the appeal now means her dog is designated as vicious, meaning she’ll have to carry $100,000 liability insurance, with the potential threat of impoundment/euthanasia.

Jill Brothers, the mother of Laurel, who resides on Tomahawk Drive, Negley, owned the other dog identified in the attack and filed a similar appeal, but dropped her challenge to the designation and had her dog, Milo, euthanized, which was confirmed.

A criminal case has been filed against Jill Brothers in county Municipal Court for two counts each of charges of violating vicious, dangerous, nuisance dog acts and duties after dog bites person, quarantine, all misdemeanors, related to the May 15 attack.

She’s scheduled to face arraignment at 8:30 a.m. June 30.

At 4:13 p.m. Friday May 15, the Columbiana County Sheriff’s Office received a call from the East Palestine Police Department advising that a Beaver Local school bus driver reported a woman was attacked by dogs while walking in the area of Tomahawk Drive.

The school bus was able to stop and pick her up, taking her to another address while contacting an EMS crew. The sheriff’s office responded and the dog warden’s office was called and responded, with the two dogs described as male boxer mixes at the time.

The victim of the dog attack, Penny Brown, was identified on social media as a Beaver Local teacher. The sheriff’s report described her injuries as extensive to her arms and the back of her head and to her legs. She was flown by helicopter to St. Elizabeth Medical Center in Youngstown for treatment.

Columbiana County Prosecutor Vito Abruzzino said the county dog warden was contacting her counterpart in Mahoning County about the vicious designation for the dog of Laurel Brothers.
