FOX 10 Phoenix | Dog rescued after being found tied to pole amid Hurricane Milton, owner arrested @Fox10Phoenix | Uploaded October 2024 | Updated October 2024, 10 hours ago.
A man has been arrested and his dog, who troopers say was tied to a pole on I-75 in belly-deep water ahead of Hurricane Milton, is safe in Tallahassee.

State Attorney Suzy Lopez announced that Giovanny Aldama Garcia has been charged with aggravated animal cruelty, a third-degree felony, after investigators say he admitted to leaving his dog on Interstate 75 as he evacuated to safety during Hurricane Milton.

"Criminals face harsher penalties, as a matter of fact, during a state of emergency, which we were in last week, and we are in now," Lopez said. "They will face the music."
