Marin County sheriff’s deputies arrested a Bolinas woman for allegedly stealing a neighbor’s dog and then attacking the pet and its owner during an argument.
The incident began late Monday night when the dog owner left his pet at his residence in Bolinas. A witness called him about a woman entering the home and removing the dog, sheriff’s Lt. Brennan Collins said.

The dog owner spotted a driver with his dog in her vehicle in downtown Bolinas. The owner followed and recognized the driver as his neighbor, Collins said.
After taking his dog back, the owner and the woman got into an argument about the animal’s “continuous barking and its overall well-being,” Collins said.
Then the woman allegedly punched the man’s face and kicked his dog. She is also accused of damaging his vehicle.
Collins said the man provided video as evidence to support his account.
