Regina Thompson had called for help after he neighbor had beat her dog with a metal object and took the dog inside of her house.
According to an arrest report, Alane Maltese ran from her yard toward a 16-year-old blind Pomeranian dog owned by Thompson.
Thompson said Alane had a metal object in her hand and was threatening to her and her dog.
Thompson said Alane beat the dog with a metal bar-like object before taking the dog inside of her home, and then got in her car and drove away.
A neighbor told Hart he saw Robert Maltese walk outside with the dog and “stuff it into a black trashcan.”
The neighbor said Robert then stabbed the dog with a pitchfork. He said, “He could hear the dog whelping and moaning while it was being struck by the pitchfork.”
The neighbor said Robert then put the dog in a white 5-gallon bucket and took it back inside the home.
According to the arrest report, Regina captured video of Robert walking around with a white bucket, and Alane placing a metal bar on the front porch before leaving the scene.
Hart said in his report he made contact with Robert. He said he woke up to yelling between Alane and Regina.
He said he came outside to see Alane chase the dog back onto Regina’s property.
According to the report, Robert said, “Alane didn’t hit the dog with any object and the dog safely made it back to Regina’s residence.”
