- Florida, USA -
The Collier County Sheriff’s Office said that 45-years-old ALLISON LEAH CHRISTIAN (pictured) stole a dog from the woman she suspected was sleeping with her boyfriend, locked him in a car and left him to die.
On March 2, 2023, CHRISTIAN got into a fight with her boyfriend after finding him inside an RV with another woman. Inside the RV, was also the woman’s dog, Tucker, an approximately 3-year-old male Labrador mix who was registered as a service dog.
During the fight between CHRISTIAN and her boyfriend, Tucker ran out of the RV and into a nearby parked car. At that point, CHRISTIAN intentionally shut Tucker in the car and left the area. Tucker sweltered inside the locked vehicle with the doors and windows closed in 83-degree heat.
Tucker’s guardian and CHRISTIAN’s boyfriend looked for Tucker but could not find him until the afternoon, when at about 5:30, CHRISTIAN’s boyfriend found the furbaby already lifeless.
The Collier County Sheriff’s Office was called and according to the Booking Sheet, Deputy Sheriff and Detective Megan Noel responded to a home on 857 103rd Avenue in North Naples.
Noel reported that Tucker was stiff. Inside the vehicle she found claw marks, feces and blood. She also observed “obvious signs of struggle” as well as several smear marks from Tucker's mouth and nasal area on all the windows.
As stated in the Booking Sheet, CHRISTAIN “had custody and control of the animal and failed to act, resulting in the animal’s cruel death. This caused repeated infliction of unnecessary pain and suffering to the animal.”
CHRISTIAN was arrested on March 2, 2023, and charged with aggravated animal cruelty.
Court records show that she is due back in court on March 27, 2023.
Noel further reported that CHRISTIAN is a convicted felon and that “There is a history of domestic violence-related calls at this residence. The suspect has several cases with CCSO and Domestic Animal Services in which dogs were removed from her care in custody in the past.”
