Video circulating of year-old attempted dog attack in Kelowna

Kelowna RCMP say a video of an attempted assault involving a dog has been circulating on social media, but the matter has been resolved.

Mounties say the female was at a gas station in the 1100-block of Ethel Street around 11:20 a.m. on Sept. 19, 2023, where she tried to coerce her dog into biting two employees.

The incident was captured on a cell phone video, which was provided to police.

The following day, Mounties arrested the female for assault. She was released later on a condition of attending court at a later date.

The matter was concluded Oct. 30, 2023, at the request of the victims, who told police the suspect never returned to the store and one of them moved out of the province.

“For reasons unknown, this video only recently surfaced on social media over a year after the incident was reported and investigated by police,” Cpl. Michael Gauthier, Kelowna RCMP Media Relations Unit, said.

“In this particular case, when the victims of the offence(s) are no longer interested in pursuing charges, we are obligated to cancel the Undertaking and conclude the matter as is.”
