A young couple is scheduled to appear in Los Angeles Superior Court on Friday afternoon after a woman threw her boyfriend’s puppy into a Hawthorne street during an argument, authorities said.
Los Angeles resident Danielle Graham, 21, was reportedly arguing with 24-year old Inglewood resident Hakeem Funtua around 1 p.m. Wednesday when she dragged the female pit bull puppy by the chain attached to its collar and threw the dog into ongoing southbound traffic on Prairie Avenue, near the intersection of 130th Street, said Hawthorne Police Lt. Scott Swain.
Two Hawthorne police officers witnessed the incident and attempted to arrest Graham, who resisted. In the ensuing physical struggle in a nearby parking lot, Funtua joined the skirmish in an apparent attempt to aid Graham, authorities said.
The officers pepper sprayed the couple and called for backup when Graham and Funtua continued to fight with officers. The officers sustained minor injuries, authorities said.
Graham was arrested on suspicion of animal cruelty and assaulting a peace officer. She was being held on $50,000 bail. Funtua was arrested on suspicion of assaulting a peace officer. He was being held on $10,000 bail.
