Woman accused of dragging dog to death


TEXAS -- A woman has been accused of horrendous animal cruelty.

Authorities say 44-year-old Herlinda Trigo tied her dog to her truck bumper and dragged the dog until it died.

A witness told police he yelled at her to stop, but she swore at him and sped up.

When police caught up to Trigo near General McMullen Dr. and Ceralvo Street she admitted that she dumped the dog's body after the rope snapped it's neck.

Trigo was arrested on Wednesday and charged with cruelty and animal torture. She was released after posting bail.
