(KRON) -- A Sebastopol woman was arrested for animal cruelty after hitting her dog and threatening further harm during a confrontation with police officers, authorities said Friday.
Sebastopol Police Department officers contacted 35-year-old Kendra Wilson during a response on Corline Court. “During the incident, Wilson threatened to stab her dog, Nora, in the presence of officers,” the department wrote.
Wilson, who police said is a transient member of the community, began “whipping” Nora as the leashed dog whimpered and attempted to get away. She also threatened to “hurt the dog worse,” according to authorities.

Two officers were attacked while trying to arrest Wilson for animal cruelty, police said. Neither officer was injured.
The dog was transported to the Humane Society for care.
