A woman who threw an abandoned puppy off her third-floor balcony laughed about it to police when they arrested her.
Jamille Marshall 22, from East Garfield Park, Chicago, told police she found the yellow pit bull mix puppy on her balcony around 9.30am on Monday.
The dog broke its leg in the fall and had severe difficulty walking afterwards.
He said that when the 22-year-old was arrested, she said: ‘The Chicago Police Department must have better things to do than worry about a dog.’
She was charged with aggravated cruelty to animals.
The dog was taken to the Animal Care and Control for treatment but he looks like he will make a full recovery.
