Blount, 52, was at the Calcasieu Parish Sheriff’s Office for an interview when he described how he struck the puppy twice, behind the head with a claw hammer, killing him, then placed him in a plastic bag and discarded it in the dumpster which was on the plant property, according to a press release.
Calcasieu Parish Sheriff’s Office responded to a call at a plant in reference to a man killing a puppy on Oct. 15. Deputies spoke with several employees of the plant who stated a coworker, Blount, had a puppy in his truck and was going to leave it in his truck while he worked.
As he approached the gate to enter the plant, Blount was confronted by several witnesses who heard the dog yelping and questioned him about leaving the puppy in the truck. Blount walked back out to his truck and grabbed a plastic bag. He was then seen going into the cab of his truck and later returned to the plant gate with a deceased puppy in the plastic bag which he set near a trash can. The witnesses stated they walked over and observed the puppy in the bag and questioned Blount about it. He then put the bag into a nearby dumpster.
Calcasieu Parish Animal Control arrived and the investigation was turned over to him.
The detective then retrieved the puppy, an eight week old pit bull mix, and left the scene.
Judge David Ritchie set his bond at $25,000.
CPSO Detective John Melton and Animal Services Officer David Doucet are the lead investigators.
