‘Enraged' Clearwater woman beats puppy, covers it in pickle juice, hot sauce: police
CLEARWATER, Fla. (WFLA) — A puppy was left unable to walk properly and covered in pickle juice and hot sauce after an incident at a Clearwater apartment Thursday, according to an arrest affidavit. Clearwater police said La'Myah Rumph, the 19-year-old owner of the pit bull puppy, became 'enraged' after the 5-month-old dog had an accident in her bedroom and defecated on the bed. 'Pure evil': Lakeland man sets house on fire with roommates inside, Judd says According to investigators, Rumph aggressively grabbed the puppy by its neck, lifted it into the air and struck it with her fist. She then threw the dog into a crate, so hard that officials said it broke the metal door. However, she didn't stop there. Police said Rumph went on to throw a 'copious' amount of pickle juice and hot sauce on the puppy as it was lying within the cage. Officers who were called to the Alpine Road apartment found the puppy covered in sauce inside the cage. They said the dog was 'trembling, shaking, upset and visibly distraught.' Police also noticed that the area in and around the cage was 'scattered with feces,' the affidavit said. The puppy was unable to fully bear weight on its left hind leg due to injuries sustained from the incident. Pinellas County Animal Control took custody of the puppy, and it was taken to a veterinarian to be further examined. Rumph was arrested and charged with cruelty to animals. Her bond was set at $5,000. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed.
