Another person later called 911 to report that Leonhardt was now sitting on a neighbor’s porch and deputies found her there still holding the dog before taking her into custody.
She was then charged with felony larceny of a dog, misdemeanor simple assault and misdemeanor communicating threats. No bond was given due to her being out on pre-trial release for other charges.
Leonhardt will appear in court on Monday.
