A woman seen on surveillance video tossing a malnourished poodle in a plastic grocery bag over an eight-foot fence behind an Anaheim veterinary clinic has been arrested and charged with multiple felonies, officials announced Thursday.<\/p>\n

Tyler Nashae Thompson, 30, of Anaheim, has been charged with one felony count of animal cruelty, one felony count of animal abuse by a caretaker and one misdemeanor count of concealing or destroying evidence, the Orange County District Attorney\u2019s Office said. She faces up to three years in county jail if convicted.<\/p>\n

The incident happened around 1:37 a.m. on Nov. 12, when Thompson is accused of leaving an apartment complex on the 1700 block of Glenoaks Avenue and throwing a plastic bag over the eight-foot fence of a nearby veterinary clinic. Surveillance video captured the bag hitting the ground before a small white poodle climbed out and wandered the yard as Thompson walked back toward the complex.<\/p>\n

At about 6:30 a.m., the clinic\u2019s owner arrived and found the dog in the backyard\u2014an animal who did not belong to the practice. After reviewing the footage, he contacted Anaheim police.<\/p>\n

Prosecutors said the poodle was extremely malnourished, flea-infested and missing a tooth.<\/p>\n

Anaheim detectives used additional surveillance footage to identify Thompson and arrested her<\/a> on Wednesday. She is being held at the Orange County Jail in lieu of $50,000 bail and is scheduled to be arraigned Monday, Dec. 1.<\/p>\n

The dog was seized by OC Animal Care, where officials say she is continuing to receive treatment.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis poor dog was subjected to unimaginable suffering by someone who was supposed to care for her,\u201d Orange County District Attorney Todd Spitzer said in a statement announcing the charges. \u201cOnly the truly depraved would make the decision to abuse an animal who has no way to protect itself and then throw it away like a piece of trash.\u201d<\/p>\n

The case is being prosecuted by Deputy District Attorney Michael Chay of the Consumer & Environmental Protection Unit.<\/p>\n
