EX COLLARED FOR TOSSING PUG 7 STORIES TO ITS DEATH
VENGEFUL Shelley
Nicole Vaughn cruelly grinned as she hurled her ex-boyfriend’s pet pug off his Clearwater condo balcony — sending the three-yearold pup plummeting seven stories to his death, according to Florida lawmen.
Heartsick Eric Adeson, 56, says he’s traumatized after watching “evil” Vaughn, 46, murder his “sweet” and “playful” Bucky!
According to a criminal complaint, the liquored-up loser picked a fight with her ex and refused to leave his apartment. Adeson charges she first tossed his cell phone and keys over the railing — and then the shrew set her sights on his
13-pound pet!
He chillingly claims, “She picked up Bucky and she just smiled and just threw them off the balcony.”
The pooch landed on the asphalt parking lot below and did not survive.
“I went down, and Bucky was lying there in a pool of blood,” says the dog’s devastated owner. “I hugged him. I kept thinking maybe he’d get up.”
Adeson explains he’d adopted Bucky as a puppy when his puggle, Sandy, was undergoing cancer treatment and adds, “Never thinking in a million years Sandy would survive the cancer and still be alive at 13 and actually outlive Bucky. That’s the tragedy of it.”
Vaughn was charged with aggravated animal cruelty, criminal mischief and domestic battery and was booked into Pinellas County Jail.
She’s also facing a civil lawsuit from Adeson, who’s seeking $30,000 in damages and filed a restraining order against her.
But Eric sadly says, “Nothing’s going to bring Bucky back.”
