TAMPA, Fla. — Tampa Police arrested and charged a woman with animal cruelty after surveillance video showed her leaving a bag of puppies in a dumpster in November.
Police said on Nov. 24, a witness reported three newborn puppies found barely alive in a garbage dumpster on North Clark Street. The witness told police that at least two puppies were zipped up in plastic Ziploc-style bags.
