Officer Bit By Dog During Traffic Stop

A Dawson Springs woman is in jail after her dog bit an officer during a traffic stop.

Debra Cates was pulled over when a Madisonville Police Officer spotted her driving on the wrong side of the road.

She claims she forgot it was a one-way street.

Police say she appeared to be under the influence and could not keep a straight train of thought.

While being interviewed, Cate’s dog jumped out of the back window and bit the officer’s arm.

After failing a sobriety test, Cates was arrested.

The officer was taken to the hospital.
