Phoenix, AZ – An Arizona man has been arrested for allegedly stomping and beating his German shepherd puppy to death. As reported by AZ Central, Anthony Reynolds was caught on an apartment complex’s surveillance video “aggressively stomping” on a German shepherd puppy and repeatedly hitting the young dog with a wine bottle.
The apartment manager at a complex near Indian School Road and 20th Avenue told responding police officers that the pup was found dead near the complex gate. The deceased puppy had visible injuries on its mouth and head.
Reynolds’ roommate told the police that the suspect had been drinking that morning; the roommate left and after returning, noticed that Reynolds and the puppy were both missing.
Reynolds was arrested on Monday, June 24, and booked into jail on a charge of animal cruelty; he claims that he acted in self-defense because the puppy had attacked him.
