WYLIE, Texas - Officers arrested a man in Wylie Sunday as part of an animal cruelty investigation.

According to the Wylie Police Department, the abuse allegedly happened on May 2 in the 600 block of E. Oak Street.

Witnesses said they saw 27-year-old Andrew Callaway “stomping” on and then “throwing” a boxer puppy, causing it to yelp in pain.
