Florida authorities say a woman is now behind bars and faces felony charges for beating her poodle to death with a frying pan.
Shacoria Pulliam was arrested on Saturday and charged with a third-degree felony for causing cruel death, pain and suffering to an animal after she allegedly beat her dog to death in August, according to Broward County Sheriff’s Office booking records.
On Aug. 28, the witness, who was living with Pulliam, said he watched her repeatedly punch her dog, Snowball, in the head and body after "yelling and screaming" at the poodle, according to the arrest report. He stopped the attack by putting Snowball, a "small mixed poodle breed," in her crate, reported Miami's Local 10 News. The arrest report states that later that evening, the witness said he saw the suspect hitting the dog with a frying pan before kicking the dog out of the house later that evening.
On Sep. 1, the witness found the poodle's decomposed body in a trashcan near their apartment. According to the news station, a necropsy determined the dog's cause of death to be blunt force trauma.
