Upstate New York man accused of killing puppy, throwing it in the trash

An upstate New York man is accused of killing a 7-month-old German Shepherd and throwing the pup in the trash, according to state police.

Raymond Mangieri, 27, of Peru, was arrested Wednesday and charged with aggravated cruelty to animals, a felony under New York State Agriculture and Markets Law, state troopers said in a release.

According to Sun Community News, the dog, named Ace, had been reported missing earlier in the day and was found in Mangieri’s trash.

Mangieri was arraigned and released without bail — but was rearrested and sent to the Clinton County Jail for violating his parole from an earlier conviction of driving under the influence of drugs, court records show.
