Man Arrested After Throwing Dog Out Of Car: SPCA

A 20-year-old man faces animal cruelty charges after he threw a dog out of a car in Holtsville, Suffolk SPCA officials said.

Caciem Kruer, of Brentwood, was arrested on Friday in Farmingville. He is charged with abandonment and cruelty to animals for lack of veterinary care, both misdemeanor charges.

Officials said Kruer dumped a black male pit bull mix out of a car on the corner of Elmhurst Street and Washington Avenue in Holtsville around 8:30 p.m. on Jan. 18.

A good Samaritan contacted Suffolk Police who brought the dog named Creed to an animal hospital. The dog was covered with dried blood and suffered a laceration.
