A Los Angeles dognapper who was caught on video speeding off with a French bulldog as the pet’s owner desperately clung to the hood of the car has been arrested, cops say.
Los Angeles Police busted Sadie Slater, 21, in Inglewood on Saturday in connection to the pooch theft and set her bail at $70,000, ABC 7 reported.
It was not immediately clear if the dog, a black Merle French bulldog with a spotted coat and different-colored eyes named Onyx, was found or returned to his owner.
The brazen daytime dognapping unfolded about 2:30 p.m. Jan. 18 when Onyx’s owner, Ali Zacharias, was enjoying lunch with her pup at the Whole Foods on Grand Avenue and Eighth Street and a female stranger started calling for her dog.
The strange woman then grabbed Onyx’s leash and began walking away with him, something Zacharias told local news outlet KTLA she initially thought was a mistake.
