Man who allegedly punched and kicked his dog arrested: Nanaimo RCMP
Mounties in Nanaimo say they arrested a man who reportedly kicked and punched his German Shepherd last month.
Police initially asked for help identifying the suspect after a witness took photos of and reported the incident in the 200 block of Selby Road on July 27.
'The witness called out to the man, telling him to stop, and the man came towards the witness aggressively, demanding to see their phone. The witness told the man they weren't recording the interaction, which helped de-escalate the situation,' the Nanaimo RCMP said at the time.
Following the appeal, the detachment says it received over 20 calls from the public with information about the man and the dog.
On Aug. 7, police arrested the 36-year-old suspect in the 100 block of Milton Street.
The dog was seized, and an animal cruelty investigation was launched.
