Press reported. The Walker County Sheriff's Office said in a statement on Monday evening that a woman was found on Jagger Road. Coroner Joey Vick pronounced Brown dead at 3pm, The Daily

working to capture the other three dogs. The other dogs are not believed to be strays, The Eagle reported. Armstrong said there is not a leash law in the county, WBMA reported. Investigators

will submit evidence to the District Attorney's office, who will then decide if there are charges in the incident, The Eagle reported. MOST READ IN NEWS A GoFundMe has been organised
