Man attacks officer after throwing puppy at car

From The Albuquerque Tribune

A man who threw a puppy at a police car is accused of grabbing a police officer by the genitals and squeezing.
According to a Metro Court criminal complaint, police responded early Sunday morning to a report of a man running through traffic holding a dog near I-25 and Paseo del Norte.
At the scene, police found a man later identified as Jonathan Padilla-Mora, 26, walking along the frontage road while holding a tan puppy by the scruff of its neck.
"Padilla stepped in front of my patrol car and threw the puppy at the front of the car," an Albuquerque police officer wrote in the complaint.
Padilla-Mora then took off his white tank top and offered to fight the officer, the complaint states.
After he was handcuffed at gunpoint, Padilla-Mora grabbed the officer's genitals while being searched and let go only after the officer squeezed a pressure point on Padilla-Mora's neck, the complaint states.
Padilla-Mora was charged with battery on a police officer and was being held in lieu of $5,000 bond.
Padilla-Mora's brother told police they had been out drinking that night. He said Padilla-Mora had thrown the puppy onto the highway several times, trying to get it hit by a car, according to the complaint.
The dog was taken by animal control officers and is alive, police said.

Jason's snark: Way to make us proud there Johnnie boy. Hope that puppy gets outta the cage long before you do.
