A ST Petersburg woman threw her elderly parents out of their shared apartment to accommodate her 11 dogs, then bombarded court officers with glasses, dishes and tear gas when they arrived to remove the animals.

A court had ruled the unidentified woman must give up her pets so her 70-year-old parents could return to the apartment, RIA Novosti news agency reported overnight.

When the court officers, who had found a place to take the dogs, informed the woman when they would arrive to pick them up, she said she would have a "surprise" waiting.

First, she locked herself in a room with the dogs, barricading the door with boxes and wardrobes. When the officers finally got inside, after more than three hours, the woman pelted them with glasses and dishes and sprayed tear gas through a hole between doors.

One of the dogs jumped to her assistance and bit an officer on the shin.

RIA Novosti said the woman eventually was handcuffed and the animals given sleeping pills and taken to their new locale.

The parents reportedly returned to the apartment.
