Sweetwater, FL – A 20-year-old Florida man has been arrested and charged for allegedly punching his dog, a husky, for months. According to sources, a neighbor informed the authorities that Jordi Ray Bermudez repeatedly punched his white husky, causing the dog to yelp and cry in pain.
Bermudez’s most recent attack happened last week. The witness, his neighbor, described what she saw through the peephole of her door, stating that Bermudez was:
“chasing the dog in the hallway and then grabbing the dog and beginning to punch it repeatedly and excessively in the torso area before dragging it back into his apartment.”
The beating prompted Bermudez’s neighbor to call 911. Officers arrived to his residence at The One at University City apartments. The authorities spoke with the witness, and other neighbors, who confirmed that they had “constantly heard the dog screaming.” As reported by Local 10 News, the beatings had been happening since last September.
Bermudez was arrested for felony animal cruelty and taken to the Miami-Dade jail; he has already bonded out. No word on the condition or fate of the abused dog.
