Pamela Jones, a 61-year-old postal worker succumbed to injuries after being mauled by dogs on Sunday morning. The Putnam County Sheriff’s Office, Pamela Jane Rock of Melrose was in the Interlachen Lake Estates region on Sunday after her car broke down. Witnesses and residents heard a woman yell for aid and ran outside to discover Rock attacking the woman on the ground with five dogs. The owners of the canines as well as several residents tried to get the dogs off the woman.
According to Wells, one of the neighbors even brought his gun along and fired a number of shots into the air and onto the ground to try to stop the attack. However, the effort was futile, and the neighbors and the owners had to physically take the dogs away from Rock. The canines went back to their owner’s property by the time the deputies arrived
While waiting for rescue teams, deputies applied tourniquets and administered first aid to arrest the heavy bleeding. Rock was taken to a nearby hospital and then flown to a trauma center in Gainesville. She passed away on Monday night, the office reported.
The US Postal Service revealed that over 5,400 postal workers across the country were bitten by dogs last year. Florida reported 201 incidents and was one among the top 10 states for dog bites, according to USPS. Wells stated that the incident’s inquiry is “quite active.” He claimed that the sheriff’s office and animal control had previously attended to the neighborhood on many occasions for animal reports.
According to Wells, a preliminary inquiry found that the dogs had escaped from a gated yard after they had managed to shift the boulders surrounding the barrier. The dogs, according to the neighbors, have been a nuisance for a while since they frequently jump the fence or emerge from beneath it. The five canines were taken into custody by animal control officers. The canines will be put down humanely, according to the sheriff’s office.
When postal workers deliver mail, the United States Postal Service advises keeping dogs inside the home, behind a fence, away from the door, or on a leash. Additionally, because dogs could see the mail carrier as a danger, the postal office advises against youngsters taking mail straight from the mail carrier.
