An 18-year-old woman was arrested Thursday after a Sherrif's officer saw her dump a dog along aside a busy road.
According to reports, the car immediately drove off and the dog began to chase the car in busy traffic, almost getting hit.
A Facebook statement was released by the Lake County Sherrif's Office:
After retrieving the dog from traffic, Ms. Kist was interviewed and advised of her rights. Ms. Kist said her sister no longer could care for the animal and this was her way of getting rid of it (not a quote). Captain Luce also stated that the whole situation seemed to be amusing to Ms. Kist even when she was told the animal was almost struck by vehicles.
Deputies and LCSO Animal Enforcement Officers responded and noted that the animal was severely malnourished but in good spirits (as seen in the pictures).
Anna Kist was charged with animal abandonment and later released on a $1,000 bond.
