New Mexico man, Dokquwon Biggers, arrested for stabbing dog with scissors, police say

NEW MEXICO -- A New Mexico man was arrested for stabbing a dog with scissors while fighting with his girlfriend, police said.

Dokquwon Biggers, 20, was apprehended Sunday afternoon after months on the run for extreme cruelty to animals, police told KRQE.

Biggers took his anger out during an argument by jabbing the shears into a pit bull's right hip in his apartment in March, police said.

The Albuquerque man was also charged with battery against a household member and criminal damage. It is unclear if the charges are related.

The dog was bleeding and required stitches but was expected to recover.

Biggers was released after making $15,000 bail or surety, according to court records.
