A Bunnell woman was taken into custody on Monday after her pit bull attacked her date, according to the Bunnell Police Department.
In a charging affidavit, police said an officer was conducting speed checks in the 4600 block of E. Moody Blvd. around 12:36 a.m., which is when he noticed a white Camaro Park next to him.
A man covered in blood got out of the Camaro and ran to the officer, explaining that his ex-girlfriend — identified as Jennifer Flores, 34 — had her dog attack him in her apartment nearby, the affidavit said.
According to police, Flores reportedly asked the man to come to her apartment that day, despite no longer dating.
After arguing about his previous relationships, Flores then threw his belongings in her bathroom and began choking him with a gold chain that he had been wearing, police added.
The affidavit shows the man told officers that he grabbed his things and pushed her aside, but Flores told her pit bull — nicknamed “Wasabi” — to “get him.”
Flores grabbed him again as the pit bull attacked, tearing at his arms and legs, investigators said.
According to the affidavit, the man ultimately escaped, and he received treatment for his injuries before telling officers he would drive himself to the hospital.
Police said they then went to Flores’ apartment, which had blood on the door and living room along with a rubbing alcohol bottle. The pit bull was caged near the front door.
After a while, Flores eventually came to the front door in only a blanket, arguing with law enforcement and mentioning that she’d been drinking, the affidavit stated.
She told investigators she hadn’t touched the man, but police arrested her and retrieved the man’s other belongings from just outside the apartment, detectives said.
Flores faces charges of domestic battery, strangulation and three counts of false imprisonment. She is held on bond of $50,000.
