Louisville police search for man accused of puppy’s violent death

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (FOX 56) — Louisville police are searching for a man they say slung his girlfriend’s puppy across the room during an argument, resulting in its death.

On Tuesday, June 3, the Louisville Metro Police Department asked the public to be on the lookout for Demetrius Hebert.

According to police, Hebert recently got into an argument with his girlfriend during which he allegedly grabbed their pit-mix puppy named Kash by the neck and swung it around “violently.”

“He then threw the puppy across the room and Kash hit a glass table before falling on floor,” LMPD wrote. “LMPD responded and noticed the puppy was in need of immediate attention. We rushed the puppy to the Shively Animal Hospital, but it was too late, and the damage was already done. The puppy died before we could get it medical attention.”

There’s a warrant issued for Hebert’s arrest, and officers ask anyone with information to call the anonymous crime tip hotline (502) 574-LMPD.
