Man wanted in Georgia for dragging two dogs tied to bumper

Georgia officials are asking for the public’s help in identifying a man who dragged two dogs tied to the back of a car and killed one of them.

CCTV footage shows the suspect dragged two animals along the roadway in Redan, east of Atlanta, around 8 p.m. Sept. 13, the DeKalb County District Attorney’s Office said Wednesday.

The driver then got out of the car, untied the dogs from the bumper and left them to die, prosecutors said.

The video shows a man driving into the parking lot of the Redan recreation center. The man apparently pulled out of the parking lot to prevent his license plate from being captured.

Another dog was treated for serious injuries

A witness later notified police about the dogs, and a DeKalb County Animal Control officer later found both with rope tied around their necks, prosecutors said.

A medium-sized black dog between 1 and 7 years old was found dead at the scene.

The other dog, a medium-sized brindle male approximately 9 months old, was treated for serious injuries and is currently in the care of DeKalb County Animal Services.

The suspect was driving a 2008-2012 Chevrolet Malibu.

According to prosecutors, the suspect’s vehicle was a dark-colored four-door sedan that investigators believe was a 2008-2012 Chevrolet Malibu.

Anyone with information about animal cruelty is encouraged to call DeKalb County Animal Control at 404-294-2939.
