County: San Francisco

Disposition: Alleged

Alleged: Danielle Walker

A Tiburon woman was arrested this week after she allegedly threw a dog out of a third-story window in San Francisco's Mission District, police said.

A witness saw Danielle Walker, 22, hurl a Jack Russell terrier out of an apartment window on the 100 block of Albion Street at just before 1:30 p.m. Sunday, according to police. After the witness contacted police, the owner of the dog, a man who police did not identify, went outside to retrieve the injured dog and take it back inside the building.

Police and officials from Animal Care and Control arrived as the owner and the witness started arguing, said Officer Carlos Manfredi, police spokesman. At that point, Walker came out of the building and the witness identified her as the thrower.

Officers booked Walker on suspicion of animal cruelty.

The Jack Russell terrier is recovering and is being evaluated for possible internal injuries and possible broken limbs, Manfredi said.
