Florida… oh Florida…
The Orlando Sentinel reported that 61-year-old James Guy Bull was arrested on Tuesday after neighbors told police that they saw him attacking his mixed-breed, 8-month-old dog on multiple occasions at his Daytona Beach apartment.
“They heard the animal yelp and cry but [Bull] continued with the conduct,” a police report said.
One witness heard a “dog in distress.” But when Bull saw the neighbor, he “pulled up his pants and put the dog down.”
“Both witnesses claim that they can hear the animal crying and yelping through the walls of the apartment but not when she is chained up on the porch,” the charging document alleged.
The report described the dog as “clearly emaciated” and having “no water or food.”
“The chain was rather large and it was stuck in … the wood slats. She had about 8 inches of space from the post,” police said. “The female dog was transported to Halifax Humane Society for medical treatment.”
Bull was charged with two counts of animal cruelty. He remained in Volusia County Branch Jail on Wednesday.
