Puppy thrown out back door - North Stafford, VA

Sunday, Jun 8, 2003

A Stafford County man faces domestic assault and cruelty to animal charges after an incident on the morning of June 8, 2003.

Sheriff Charles Jett said deputies responded to a residence on Mary Drive in North Stafford about 11:50 a.m. where a woman said her husband had slapped her in the face and then thrown her small puppy out the back door.

Jett said the man also pulled telephone wires out of the wall and threw them outside.

A sergeant immediately issued an emergency protective order and sought warrants for domestic assault and battery and animal cruelty against Roy Edward Harrison Jr., Jett said.

Harrison turned himself in at the Sheriff's Office about 2 that afternoon, when he was also charged with driving on a suspended license.

Harrison, 23, was being held in the Rappahannock Regional Jail on $3,500 bond.
