Police Arrest Suspect for Slamming Puppy to Death in SF Store

SAN FRANCISCO (KPIX) -- San Francisco police have caught up with a suspect seen slamming a puppy to the floor of a convenience store last month in the city's Tenderloin District.

Video from a store camera shows a man snatching a woman's Cocker Spaniel puppy during an argument then hurling the animal to the floor, killing it.

The surveillance video allowed investigators to identify the suspect as 23-year-old Delos Pierre Gallon of San Francisco.

Gallon was arrested Wednesday at a hotel in San Mateo and he is facing charges that include felony animal cruelty.
