Allison Murphy was accused of both violently defying an officer and animal abuse. Bodycam footage of Murphy’s arrest at the Daytona Beach Motel 6 was released by the Volusia County Sheriff’s Department the next day.
It showed her throwing the German Shepherd off the balcony, much to the shock of the police watching.
Officers eventually got Allison Murphy into a squad car after successfully apprehending her, and then they met with the two agencies to talk about the chaotic scenario.
According to the Daily Mail, a cop told the group, “The dog was loose and she grabbed a hold of it and we all thought that she was going to probably bring him back inside but she just flung [her] right over the rail.”
The Volusia County Sheriff’s Office reports that the dog landed upright. After taking off, she was finally stopped by onlookers.
