In an apparently unrelated case, Ondo pleaded guilty Tuesday to corruption of minors and indecent exposure. Lazarra sentenced him to time served plus five years of probation on those charges.
Police arrested Ondo in February. Responding to a domestic call at his parents' house, they arrived to find a calm Ondo denying he killed the 14-month-old teacup Chihuahua named “Izzy,” police Officer Paul Abel says in the arrest complaint.
Ondo was covered in splatters of the dog's blood and flesh and police found his bloody machete and a bloody butcher's knife near the dog's body in the back yard, the complaint says.
Ondo remained calm as he began saying, according to police, “The devil did it. Allah did it.”
After officers placed him in the back of a cruiser, he repeatedly referred to the dog as a piece of excrement, the complaint says.
