CLEVELAND, Ohio — A woman who pleaded guilty to having her dogs attack a grocery store worker who was attempting to stop her from stealing has been sentenced to prison by a Summit County judge.
Linda Snow, 65, of Norton, will spend four to six years in prison on a second-degree felony charge of felonious assault. Snow’s daughter, Jennifer Clark, 38, of Akron, was given a suspended three-year prison sentence after she pleaded guilty to charges of robbery and endangering children. Clark still must serve 90 days in jail and is on probation for three years.
According to prosecutors, Snow and Clark took a cart full of food from Acme Fresh Market in Akron’s Kenmore neighborhood on Aug. 16, 2019. When a 55-year-old Acme worker confronted Snow and Clark in the parking lot of the store, Snow opened a door to her vehicle, where she had three pit bulls, prosecutors say.
Two of the dogs attacked and seriously injured the worker, who had to be hospitalized, prosecutors say. Snow and Clark then drove off with the dogs. Clark’s 11-year-old son also was in the vehicle.
“This was a horrible incident,” Summit County Prosecutor Sherri Bevan Walsh said in a statement. “The victim suffered significant physical injuries because of the attack. ... As a dog owner myself, I am appalled at how the dogs were used in this assault”.

Always nice to see my hometown in the news. It's never, "Akron woman wins science award for breakthrough in polymers."
It always, "Akron person does something fucked up and stupid."

That is like shooting someone in a robbery. I don't think 4 to 6 years is enough. It should be more like 20 years or life since it was attempted murder. And never be allowed to own dogs again, since dogs were used in a commission of a violent crime.
