Heartless traveler drowned her dog in Florida airport bathroom to board flight due to insufficient pet paperwork: cops
A heartless traveler in Florida was arrested Tuesday for allegedly drowning her own dog in the womenâs bathroom of the Orlando International Airport, so she could board her flight, according to police.
Alison Agatha Lawrence, 57, was told by TSA that she did not have the proper paperwork to bring her dog on her Dec. 16, 2024 flight, according to a report from WFTV-9.
Instead of calling someone to pick up the pup or missing the plane, the ghoul allegedly took her dog to a restroom ahead of the security checkpoint and drowned the poor pooch â and then went on to board her flight as if nothing happened, Orlando police said.
An airport employee later found the dead canine and alerted police, but the brute was already gone, according to the report.
Following an investigation, the 57-year-old was arrested on Tuesday in Clermont, Fla., and charged with one count of felony animal abuse. She was released later the same day after posting a $5,000 bond, Lake County jail records show.
The Orlando Police Department did not respond to a request for comment.
