- Indiana, USA -
The Evansville Police Department arrested 73-years-old GORDON LEE TERRY (pictured) after he was witnessed dropping his dog several times.
Police said on the early morning of Saturday, May 27, 2023, a witness called after seeing TERRY having trouble standing and falling over multiple times, and picking his dog up and dropping him several times.
Officers responded to the 7000 block of East Walnut Street where the witness told them that she stopped to talk to TERRY and he told her that he was “drunk on some pills.”
The witness told officers that TERRY walked up to the car in the parking lot, dropped his dog onto the pavement, and left. TERRY also left his shoes behind.
Animal control was called in and took custody of the dog.
The furbaby suffered brain damage due to how his body was reacting, and how the pupils looked. He was sadly euthanized.
The Voiceless Victim was microchipped and police were able to track down his guardian, TERRY’s wife. When she was questioned, she confirmed the dog, a 3-year-old Pomeranian mix named Riley, was hers and her husband’s. She told the police her husband had been out looking for Riley after he got loose.
TERRY admitted he knowingly left Riley and that the pair of black shoes officers found at the scene of the incident were his.
TERRY was taken into custody on Saturday, May 27, 2023, and transported to the Vanderburgh County Jail. According to public records, at his initial court appearance, judge Meir set a ridiculous bond of $500 and TERRY was released! The condition of the bond is that “Deft. shall not possess any live animals.”
TERRY is due back in Vanderburgh Superior Court on June 1, 2023, at 10:00 a.m.
