On April 6, court records show Angela Hagar, 42, allegedly attacked her live-in boyfriend with several different items while he was sleeping, KGET-TV reported.
According to the arrest warrant, Hagar reportedly got on his back and started choking the victim, who was not named, with a rope. She then allegedly sicced her pit bull on the victim, who suffered dog bites to his arm, face and body, KGET-TV reported.
Hagar is also accused of using a claw hammer to hit the victim’s body and face as well as a frying pan, court records show.
Deputies wrote in the arrest warrant that the victim’s arms were so badly injured that “the bone was protruding through the skin,” KGET-TV reported.
