Marion Oaks, FL: Boyfriend arrested in deaths of three Chihuahua puppies

Marion Oaks, Florida - In what appears to have been a domestic dispute yesterday at a residence at 14600 block Southwest 41st Avenue, three Chihuahua puppies are now dead.

Tayon L. Alexander, 20 was arrested for three counts of suspected animal cruelty.

According to Ocala.com Alexander and the owner of the Chihuahua mother and her six puppies were involved in an argument when Alexander threw one puppy to the floor and killed it. Two other puppies, approximately eight weeks old were found dead under a kitchen counter and under the couch.

The three surviving puppies were discovered walking around or cowering in a bathroom.

The mother of the puppies was found in the backyard of the home picking through a garbage bag in search of food.

Alexander is currently in the Marion County jail in lieu of $6,000 bail.
