According to police, Herbert recently got into an argument with his girlfriend during which he allegedly grabbed their pit-mix puppy named Kash by the neck and swung it around 'violently.'
'He then threw the puppy across the room and Kash hit a glass table before falling on floor,' LMPD wrote. 'LMPD responded and noticed the puppy was in need of immediate attention. We rushed the puppy to the Shively Animal Hospital, but it was too late, and the damage was already done. The puppy died before we could get it medical attention.'
