PATASKALA, Ohio (WOIO/TMX) - An investigation is ongoing after a 75-year-
old Ohio woman was fatally attacked and then eaten by her neighbor’s pigs
on Christmas Day.
Pataskala Police Chief Bruce Brooks told the Columbus Dispatch on Monday
that it’s not yet clear whether criminal charges will be forthcoming in
the case, which he called a “horrible, horrible situation.”
Police were initially called to perform a welfare check on 75-year-old
Rebecca Westergaard in Pataskala because she had not arrived as planned at
her niece’s home in Norton, just outside Akron, and her family had not
been able to reach her. Police arrived at Westergaard’s home and found her
dead on her property near her house.
Brooks told the outlet that he could not share many details because the investigation is ongoing, but said the two pigs responsible for mauling
and eating Westergaard belong to her neighbor. The neighbor’s identity has
not been released, and Brooks said it’s still unclear whether they will
face criminal charges because the aggressive animals are livestock rather
than dogs.
“If it was a pit bull or a Rottweiler, or name any of the other 15 dogs
that are deemed semi aggressive, then we would know the answer right
away,” he said. “But being farm animals, it’s just not something we’ve
ever dealt with here.”
Brooks said police are consulting the Licking County Prosecutors' Office,
and would share more information once Westergaard’s autopsy is completed
in four to six weeks.
