CHARLOTTE, N.C. — The owner of the dogs that attacked two women in University City in September is expected to appear in court Wednesday.
Treshina Everett faces two misdemeanor charges for the attack, including a leash law violation and a charge for unprovoked bite. Investigators said Everett was walking her two cane corso dogs when they broke free and attacked a woman. A family member of that woman came out to help and she was also bitten by the dogs.
Both victims sustained serious injuries.
"I just started screaming,' Stop, stop, stop'," a witness said. "Her family showed up and they were yelling and screaming, 'Are those your dogs?' I just grabbed the dogs."
The witness said the dogs snapped again, attacking Hanyange Yodi, the daughter of the first victim.
“I was scared and I was trying to get to my mom -- the dogs immediately started attacking me, they ate my legs, all through my legs," Yodi said. "They ate at my arm, I can't move.”
Both dogs were euthanized after the attack and a lab confirmed that neither dog had a current rabies vaccination. Charlotte-Mecklenburg police said lab tests determined that neither dog had rabies.
Note: WCNC instituted a policy in March 2021 regarding the broadcast or posting of mugshots.
WCNC will only air or post a mugshot if the person has been formally charged with a crime and in a few other cases. The exceptions include: If it appears the person could be a danger to themselves or others or if they are wanted by authorities; to differentiate between people with a common name; if the photos could encourage more victims to come forward. The news-editorial leadership may also decide to use a mugshot based on the severity of the crime(s) committed and/or the level of public interest in the crime and ensuing criminal proceedings.
