A 19-year-old man is in the Pinellas County Jail after his grandparents say he sodomized and severely injured their small dog, and threw it into a dumpster.

Deputies say 19-year-old Nicholas Densmore's grandparents called police after making a horrifying discovery.

Robert and Claudette Densmore told investigators that they noticed their grandson, who was visiting them, was not in their house.

They went outside and saw him sitting in their motorhome in the backyard.

They said when Densmore saw them coming, he picked up their Yorkshire Terrier by the scruff of the neck and took off with the dog.

They followed Densmore to see what was going on.

They eventually found the dog cowering and whimpering in a city dumpster.

When they removed the dog, they discovered it was bleeding from its rectal area.

Nicholas Densmore was placed under arrest and is being held on $25,000 bond.

He faces charges of animal cruelty.

Robert and Claudette Densmore took the dog to the vet, where it will undergo surgery.
