CHRISTIAN CUELLO arrested after he was caught on camera repeatedly beating a defenseless puppy

- Florida, USA -

The Bradenton Police Department announced the arrest of 30-year-old CHRISTIAN CUELLO (pictured).

According to the Department’s press release, employees at Kava Social Club in Bradenton learned that several customers saw CUELLO grabbing a puppy's neck and striking the furvictim in the face before leaving the business.

The Bradenton Police Department tells me the puppy’s name is Draco.

The employees then alerted a BPD officer, who was patrolling downtown Bradenton and proceeded to review security cameras.

Multiple videos that were provided to the officer showed the abuse CUELLO inflicted on Draco,  unable to dial 911 to report the abuse!

Police said that the officer recognized the puppy and located his guardian who explained that she had left Draco in CUELLO’s care.

Police took Draco to a veterinary hospital for examination and then returned him to his guardian.

At the time this incident occurred, CUELLO was out on probation for an unrelated case.

He was charged with animal cruelty, and he is being held into the Manatee County Jail.

Bradenton Police encourage anyone who witnessed CUELLO’s actions to email Officer Anthony Cerniglia. Thank you!
