NORTH LAS VEGAS -- A 42-year-old woman was sent to the hospital after being hit by a runaway bull that escaped from Clark County Commissioner Tom Collins' property, according to North Las Vegas Police.

A bull and cow got loose from their enclosure at Collins' residence early Saturday evening. After escaping, the bull ran into the woman as she was trying to help get the animal back to its enclosure. Police said she was taken to University Medical Center and was treated for injuries. That woman is now out of the hospital.

The bull, responsible for the injury, was tranquilized and taken back to the property. The other animal was contained without a tranquilizer.

Animal control officers investigated the incident and a citation was issued.

Collins was charged earlier this week for discharging a firearm within the city of North Las Vegas and disturbing the peace for an shooting incident that occurred on July 3, 2012.

According the police reports, Collins fired a handgun outside of his home on North Decatur Boulevard around 11 p.m. Collins said he shot at a tree because he was mad at it.
