The tragic case involves a woman who allegedly drowned her schnauzer, Tywinn, in an Orlando International Airport bathroom after being unable to board her flight with the dog due to a paperwork issue. Her arrest followed the discovery of Tywinn's body in a trash bag, accompanied by personal items. Surveillance footage revealed her actions prior to boarding the flight. She faces a serious charge of aggravated animal abuse, highlighting the severity of the incident and the implications for animal welfare.
"This act was intentional and resulted in a cruel and unnecessary death of the animal," said an arrest affidavit from the Orlando Police Department.
The investigation into the death of the 9-year-old schnauzer named Tywinn started in December when a janitor found the dog in a trash bag in a bathroom stall at Orlando International Airport.
Airport surveillance cameras captured the woman speaking for 15 minutes to a Latam Airlines agent with the dog in tow, walking into a bathroom near the ticketing area with the dog and exiting the bathroom without Tywinn less than 20 minutes later.
Authorities said the woman had been told she could not bring her dog aboard because she did not have the proper paperwork.
