5-month-old puppy thrown, leg broken
Saint Johnsbury, VT (US)

Incident Date: Wednesday, Mar 30, 2011
County: Caledonia

Charges: Misdemeanor
Disposition: Alleged

Alleged: David A. Levchuk

A Vermont man is charged with animal cruelty after police said he threw a puppy across a room, breaking its leg.

David A. Levchuk, 29, of St. Johnsbury, took the injured five-month-old part Chihuahua puppy named Sophie to a veterinary clinic, saying he found it injured near his apartment. His girlfriend told police he'd thrown the dog after it urinated on his bed.

Levchuk pleaded not guilty to the misdemeanor charge Monday, and a Caledonia Superior Court judge released him on conditions, including that he not own any animals and turn over any he does own to a humane society.

The Caledonian-Record says the dog, whose leg was put in a cast after the March 30 incident, is recovering and in foster care.
