A Foley woman was hospitalized with serious injuries after being attacked by multiple dogs at a residence she shared with the animals’ owner. The Foley Police Department responded to the incident and found the victim with numerous bite wounds. Two of the dogs were euthanized at the scene due to continued aggressive behavior. Authorities seized three additional dogs.
Officers responded to the 13000 block of McGaster Trail on September 20, 2026, after a report of a dog bite. Emergency medical services transported the adult female victim to a local hospital. During the preliminary investigation, five Pit Bull-type dogs were accounted for at the scene.
Officers determined that the victim and the dogs’ owner, Nikeyl Jones, 33, of Foley, live at the same address. This was not the first time authorities had been called to the location. The incident followed multiple prior animal-related complaints at the same address. Jones had recently appeared in court over issues involving those same animals.
Jones is charged with violations under Emily’s Law, a Class C felony. Emily’s Law is a state statute that establishes a formal legal process for investigating unprovoked dog attacks and holding owners criminally accountable. Jones also faces an additional charge of Reckless Endangerment, a Class A misdemeanor.
The Foley Police Department said Jones has been uncooperative throughout the investigation. Authorities are asking the public for help in locating him. Anyone with information about Jones’s whereabouts is urged to contact their local law enforcement agency.
