Local man mauled by dogs Sunday morning
A local man walking to work early Sunday morning never made it to work. Instead, he was mauled by attacking dogs in the vicinity of the Knights Inn Motel.
Culberson Hospital’s EMS found 61 year-old Noe Carrillo lying on the cold asphalt bleeding profusely from multiple dog bites.
According the Sheriff Oscar Carrillo, “The 9-1-1 caller said he witnessed the pack of dogs mauling the defenseless pedestrian when he ran to aid chasing the dogs across the street to the Goodyear building owned by Ike Vorheis.”
Sheriff Carrillo told the Advocate that he summoned the assistance of the Town of Van Horn who located and are currently holding the dogs while the investigation continues.
Sheriff Carrillo also noted, “due to the numerous lacerations, Carrillo was transported to El Paso’s Thomason General Hospital where he was in surgery for hours as doctors worked to close over 100 bites ranging in size and depth located all over his body.”
