Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania – On Christmas Day, a woman was arrested after witnesses told the authorities she had beaten a puppy and stuffed the pup into a suitcase before zipping it up. The alleged puppy abuser is identified as 56-year-old Jayme White.
According to the criminal complaint, there was “no way for the dog to be able to breathe,” in the closed suitcase.
As reported by WTAE News, the first time the police encountered White, the puppy was in the suitcase, and she was advised that she could not keep the pup there. After letting the woman go, police received another call stating that White was observed beating the puppy again and had put the pup back in the suitcase.
This time, White was arrested and the puppy was taken to the Pittsburgh Police Zone 1 station and then turned over to a local rescue organization. The pup was dehydrated and had an open wound but was in relatively “good spirits” given the cruel ordeal.
White is facing charges for public drunkenness and animal cruelty; her preliminary hearing is scheduled on January 6.
