Authorities
in Montgomery have arrested a 56-year-old man accused of ripping his dogs from a car and abandoning them.
Briant
Carter was allegedly caught
on video violently abandoning his two dogs outside of an animal shelter in
Walden.
“The
dogs were violently ripped out of the car. Left stranded without food, water
and shelter,” says acting Montgomery Police Chief Steve Wragni.
Surveillance
video captured the ordeal outside of Walden Humane Society on Monday night. The
video shows the animals being ripped from the back seat of a car and abandoned
on Albany Post Road.
The
Montgomery man is charged with two
counts of animal cruelty and falsely reporting an incident.
Wragni
tells News 12 the dogs were seen wandering on nearby dark roads overnight until
shelter employees arrived Tuesday morning and found them.
As of
now, they’re safe and in the care of Walden Humane Society.
Police
say Carter has since been released on an appearance ticket.
