Man in argument with mom drowns her dog
POMPANO BEACH (AP) – A South Florida man allegedly retaliated against his mother by throwing her caged dogs into a lake.
Broward County deputies arrested Deangelo Veus Saturday on two counts of animal cruelty. An animal control officer was able to save a terrier mix, but a pregnant miniature pinscher drowned.
The 29-year-old allegedly threw the animals into about 15 feet of water after he and his mother got into an argument.
Veus has been a frequent visitor to the Broward County jail. Saturday’s arrest marked his 18th mug shot.
He previously spent 19 months in prison for robbery, carrying a concealed firearm and driving with a suspended license.
