The probable cause statement shows Weissman admitted that a gray pit bull, identified as belonging to her cousin and allegedly involved in the first incident, was not at the residence. She also claimed the gray dog was not involved in the second incident because she had dropped the dog off at her family’s home in Loxahatchee the day before.

Animal Care and Control issued Weissman citations for violations of local animal ordinances along with charges of failure to comply with animal control orders, reckless endangerment and violation of local leash laws.Riviera Beach police arrested Weissman on charges of neglect for failing to properly secure her dogs, resulting in bodily harm in both incidents.
