CALHOUN COUNTY, SC

After concerned residents reported seeing a puppy abused and killed, deputies charged and arrested an Orangeburg woman.

Taylor Hendrix of Crimestoppers told the Associated Press that witnesses reported the suspect held a rope out of the window of her car that was attached to the dog's neck and pulled it alongside her until the animal couldn't keep up.

Officials reported the German shepherd puppy died near St. Matthews.

Calhoun County Sheriff Thomas Summers said the public’s help in this case helped lead to the arrest.

Acting on a tip, deputies located Rita Mintz, 66, of Pineview Drive in Orangeburg about her involvement in the case.

She admitted she was the person responsible for the crime, Summers stated in a news release.

“This was a very shocking incident to all of us, and I am very thankful for the outpouring of help we received from the community and from the Humane Society.” Summers said.

Mintz is charged with ill treatment to animals. She was released from the Orangeburg-Calhoun Regional Detention Center on a $5,000 personal recognizance bond.

What the hell??

I’m looking at my little rescue dog now - it takes a heap of indifference and cruelty to kill a puppy. I love to know what her children are like!

I was going to call for her to be dragged by a car until I saw her picture. It’s racist to call for that kind of retaliatory punishment for anyone not white.

Articles of cruelty of animals bring out a rage in me........

I'm dealing with a major problem with my cat and doing all I can to prevent her from suffering......

I would have no problem supporting a nation wide vigilante network that would deal with these monsters...........

When I was in Spain I saw them training Greyhounds by driving a Volkswagon slowly,the dogs tethered with ropes to the back of the car.

I was horrified because of the thought that a dog might fall——and be dragged.
