Leo Rogers, a 44-year-old ex-convict, was arrested on an animal-cruelty charge after he allegedly beat his puppy to death with a broom handle at his Titus Avenue home, police said. The man allegedly killed the dog, a 11/2-month old chow-shepherd mix, because it was chewing on the kitchen floor.
Rogers' girlfriend told police that Rogers beat the puppy, named Major, with a broom handle and threw it around the kitchen. The puppy began to bleed out of its ear and then died, she said. The girlfriend carried the dog outside and left it near bushes off Broadway.
Police Officer Richard Cruz arrested Rogers and charged him with one count of cruelty to animals. Rogers was released from Wyoming Correctional Facility, Attica, in 2004 after serving six years for aggravated criminal contempt.
