«Breaking News» Man, 25, allegedly killed a puppy by 'stomping on its head' before punching an officer in the face

A man in Pennsylvania is facing charges after he allegedly caused a puppy to die by stomping on its head and later punched an officer in the face.

Richard Jukes Jr, 25, was arrested Tuesday night after officers with the Altoona Police Department responded to a call concerning an injured animal at his home.

When officers arrived, they found a one and a half month old chihuahua puppy 'with a severe head injury inside the residence', officials with the police department wrote on Facebook.

'It was later discovered that Jukes Jr stomped on the puppy’s head causing severe trauma and ultimately killing the dog,'  the department explained.

When officers attempted to ask Jukes Jr about the alleged incident, he then punched an Altoona Police Department officer in the face.

The Chihuahua puppy named Popcorn that was wrapped in a hooded sweatshirt and severely injured when police arrived.

After it was taken for emergency veterinarian care, police discovered the puppy, which died Wednesday, was so infested with fleas that its gums were white from blood loss.

Police said fleas were 'swarming' all over the puppy’s body, face and snout. They said because of the circumstances behind the dog’s injury, a city detective was called in to investigate.

The Pennsylvania man has since been charged with 'Aggravated Cruelty to Animals, Aggravated Assault of a Police Officer, Resisting Arrest, Obstruction of Justice, Recklessly Endangering Another Person, and Disorderly Conduct'.

He is being held at the Blair County Prison on a $75,000 cash bail.

Two women at the house were also arrested and charged, according to officials.

Stacy Frida, 28, and Stephanie Obssuth, 30, have been charged with three counts of endangering the welfare of a child and nine counts of animal cruelty.

Eight other animals, three dogs and five cats, were found at the home before they were removed by the Central Pennsylvania Humane Society.

The child welfare charges relate to the three children all under the age of 10 who were found living in the 'flea-infested residence' as well, officials said.

While police were at the home, one of the children allegedly walked up to Altoona police Detective corporal Terry Merritts and said: ‘We have a lot of fleas in here. They crawl all over me, and sometimes they bite’.

Police shared a Facebook post on the distressing case and described the house as 'flea infested'

Police said Friday immediately yelled at the child and told the 9-year-old to ‘shut up’, Altoona Mirror reported.

Friday then ordered the 9-year-old and 4-year-old to: 'Keep (their) f*****g mouths shut while the cops are here', Merritts noted in the charges.

Merritts pointed out that the children’s statements were not necessary as ‘the deplorable living conditions and the poor physical conditions of the animals spoke for themselves’.

Friday remains in jail in lieu of 10 percent of $40,000 while Obssuth is free on a unsecured $30,000 bond.

A preliminary hearing is scheduled for November 28 at Central Court.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
