A woman was arrested and charged with murder last week after she allegedly released her pit bull on a man. Melissa D. Wolke, 38, was picked up early Friday morning near Mount Vernon, Kentucky, after cops received a call that she and the dog were assaulting a man, according to the arrest document. When the officers arrived, they found Wolke allegedly beating Donald W. Abner, 55, while the dog continued to maul the victim, police said. Abner suffered severe dog bite wounds to his face and neck and was declared dead. In addition to the murder charge, Wolke was charged on four other criminal counts including alcohol intoxication, disorderly conduct and resisting arrest, according to the Rockcastle County Detention Center.
