MARYVILLE, Tenn. (WVLT) -- A Blount County woman charged in February after her two pit bulls attacked an animal control officer entered a plea of no contest Wednesday to charges of misdemeanor reckless endangerment in a deal that would have her charges dismissed in a year if she stays out of trouble with the law.

In late February, animal control officer Kenneth Crowder went to Deborah Dyer's Old White's Mill Road home just after noon on February 21 and was attacked by the dogs.

In February, Dyer said she did what she could,

Dyer told Volunteer TV News, "(The dog) was biting him, and I was hitting (the dog) in the head with my left hand. I'm left handed, and I broke my fingers."

But that's not what an eyewitness says she saw.

"It didn't appear that she was making any attempt to help the officer. That's why I asked my father in law to go across the street and help," eyewitness Lori Lewis told Volunteer TV News in February.

Dyer's case was deferred for a year after she entered her no contest plea, and the judge agreed to dismiss the charges if Dyer pays all of her court costs and doesn't have any other run-ins with the law over the course of the next year.
