"According to the charges, on Sunday, Jan. 4, at approximately 6 p.m., a witness saw Bujor driving a red Volkswagen Passat near 11th Street and 43rd Avenue in Long Island City and dragging two dogs by their leashes connected to the trunk of the car. One of the dogs, a pit bull, became unhooked from the car. Bujor allegedly grabbed both dogs, put them in the car and sped away."
"'As alleged, the defendant tied a German shepherd and a pit bull to the back of a car and dragged them down a Long Island City street,' Queens District Attorney Melinda Katz said. 'I thank the good Samaritans who came forward to report this cruel act and the NYPD for quickly apprehending the defendant and seizing the animals, which are now under the medical treatment of the ASPCA.'"
"Police removed the dogs, and the animals were taken to the ASPCA in Manhattan to be examined. The German shepherd, named Marzipan and about 2 years old, had a ruptured eardrum. The pit bull, estimated to be 2 to 4 years old and named Nougat, had abrasions to the paw pads behind her wrists, inflammation of the skin between her toes and diarrhea."
