A Colorado woman is facing criminal charges in connection to the mauling death of her elderly mother by 54 dogs in their home, according to authorities.
Officers with the Pueblo County Sheriff’s Office arrested 47-year-old Jessica Hoff on Friday — more than a month after 76-year-old LaVonne Hoff was found mauled to death in the home they shared in Colorado City.
Police said the victim suffered from dementia and ‘required 24-hour care.’
The daughter reportedly was charged with criminal negligence resulting in the death of an at-risk adult. She also was charged with 54 counts of aggravated cruelty to animals — one count for each of the dogs found inside the home.
