Police: Woman throws dog out third-floor window

ALBUQUERQUE — Police say a woman is accused of throwing her dog out of a window of her third-floor apartment and killing it, and of then kicking officers who arrested her.

Albuquerque police said in a statement that 28-year-old Ashley Scott was arrested Wednesday on suspicion of extreme cruelty to animals and battery on a police officer. Police also say Scott allegedly threw the dog’s body into a trash container.

Scott remained in jail Friday and online court records didn’t list an attorney who could comment regarding the allegations.
