Woman drowned dog in airport bathroom after being denied boarding, police say

ORLANDO, Fla. -- A woman drowned her dog in a Florida airport bathroom and then boarded her international flight after she was prevented from bringing the white miniature schnauzer with her because of a paperwork issue, authorities said.

The woman was arrested in Lake County on Wednesday on a charge of aggravated animal abuse, a third-degree felony. She was released on $5,000 bail.

“This act was intentional and resulted in a cruel and unnecessary death of the animal,” said an arrest affidavit from the Orlando Police Department.

Online court records showed no attorney listed for the woman from Kenner, Louisiana.

The investigation into the death of the 9-year-old schnauzer named Tywinn started in December when a janitor found the dog in a trash bag in a bathroom stall at Orlando International Airport.

The janitor earlier had seen the woman in the stall cleaning up water and dog food from the stall's floor. The janitor was pulled away for a cleanup emergency and returned to the bathroom 20 minutes later where she found Tywinn in the trash container, along with a companion vest, collar, rabies tag, a dog travel bag and a bone-shaped dog tag with the woman's name and phone number, investigators said.

Dear God.

Why does someone like that even have a dog?

Putting down a dog that’s dangerous on a ranch isn’t the same as this.

She is one cold-blooded killer. Her pet. Drowned in a toilet. And you know that poor dog was struggling and whining the whole time.

They gave the victim’s name but not the killer’s name. According to the article she was flying to Columbia, so she might have a foreign-sounding name, and the lefty Democrat media would not want the suckers, er, the public associating a foreign person with anything negative.

Prove me wrong.

For the same reason celebrities and other elites like to adopt exotic children. To them they are merely accessories.

She’s in Ecuador. Humans are the worst species on the planet.

…Not too smart, though, to throw her contact info out in the trash with the dog’s remains. (I’m sure she would have been caught anyway.) No thought of a contingency for the pet? Or a carrier?

Airport cameras and staff remembering a woman tried to board a plane with a dog would have narrowed her down pretty quickly, I think.

Right? Her plan was to either get on the plane or kill her dog? Why didn’t she ask the airline if she could bring the dog beforehand? It appears that she isn’t playing with a full deck.

Her name is Allison Laurence?

That doesn’t sound like an Ecuadoran

Probably thought the companion vest would get it on the plane.
