Early on Nov. 9th, Denham Springs Police officers found an abandoned dog near Adams Smoke Shop.
Officers found the dog after they were dispatched to the area by a caller describing a “loose dog.” The officers could not locate an owner so the dog was brought to the police department until a shelter opened.
Later in the day, they discovered it was an intentionally abandoned dog.
The officers watched a video which showed a suspect, Joshua Tudor, allegedly removing the dog’s collar and forcing it out of the vehicle.
Tudor claimed he was unhappy that the dog was coming over from a nearby residence so he decided to abandon the dog at the business’s parking lot.
He was arrested and issued a misdemeanor summons for cruelty to animals.

How about arresting the dog’s owner, instead, for letting it run loose.
