State police say a Huntingdon woman is behind bars after a weeks-old infant was attacked by her German Shepherd dog and reportedly suffered multiple injuries, including a skull fracture.
Investigators say 39-year-old Nicole Jones is now facing charges after the 46-day old baby was hospitalized last month.
According to the affidavit, troopers were contacted on June 3rd after Jones' family dog reportedly attacked the infant while it was in its bassinette.
Police say the German Shepherd is reportedly registered as a "dangerous dog," since August of last year, after it previously attacked multiple other victims in the neighborhood.
Investigators say Jones reportedly found the dog "shredding" the baby's diaper and onesie, and stated that she believed the dog was trying to get the infant's pacifier.
Police also noted that Jones had initially claimed that the incident had occurred in the upstairs of the home, while she was showering.
However, troopers learned that the baby had allegedly been left alone downstairs.
According to the complaint, police say the baby was treated for multiple injuries, including a left-side skull fracture, broken ribs and multiple puncture wounds and scratches.
