Oklahoma City, OK – On April 9, a convicted felon was arrested for the brutal killing of an innocent puppy whose battered body was found outside of a southeast Oklahoma City business in late March. The man responsible for the cruel act has been identified as 57-year-old Larry Don McMillian.
Before McMillan’s arrest, the Oklahoma City Police were on the hunt for an individual caught on surveillance video ruthlessly killing a puppy. The footage shows this person dragging a helpless puppy by its legs, throwing it to the ground before repeatedly stomping on the pup’s head. Following the brutal attack, the man callously walks away.
McMillian’s arrest came after his ex-girlfriend, Sarah Looney, let the authorities know that she recognized the man in the video that was shared widely across media outlets. Looney commented on the abuse she and her puppy suffered at her ex-boyfriend’s hands:
“He started getting that way (abusive) to me and then my puppy. People like that need to get help or not be let out of prison. I am glad he is locked up for what he did to animals, and for what he had done to me.”
And before the arrest, MSgt. Jennifer Wardlow with OKCPD said, “This is a very dangerous individual, we want to identify this person.”
Larry Don McMillian was arrested on charges of cruelty to animals and possession of firearm by a convicted felon. If you are outraged and disgusted by his behavior, please add your name to the petition today!
