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 publics 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.
Laz?
James Brown is BACK!!
We all know this crap goes on.
So do these post appear to let us all know there is scum on this earth.We all know that
Me I don’t care to see it here as there aint spit I can do about it.
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!
Evil is rampant.
Unfortunately too many folks down here treat their animals poorly. Same with their children
I had to check the source to see if this was Australia.
That is one abo-looking critter.
I’ll bet she had a good excuse.
Romney's political career has been over for years.
Yet another monster that shouldn’t be allowed to share this earth with human beings.
Drag her from a car.

Michael Vic’s aunt?
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.
Sadly, I agree
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...........
Story doesn’t tell why?
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.
.
Best idea yet.
