Evans began punching a yellow Labrador Retriever named Blue while it was fighting with another dog in the front yard of a home on Stone St., according to White.

Blue laid down in the yard and cowered while Evans yelled and jumped towards the dog, said White. When Evans turned his back, Blue would start to stand up, at which point Evans would grab Blue by the throat and punch the dog with a closed fist two or three times, according to White.

Cpl. White said he confronted Evans, and Evans left the dog alone and denied punching the dog.

White arrested Evans on suspicion of Cruelty to Animals and other charges. White said he searched Evans and found a blue glass pipe with burnt marijuana residue inside, according to the report.
