Investigators tracked down the suspect using Automated License Plate Reader technology, which led detectives to Nguyen’s home in Anaheim.

She admitted to owning and abandoning her nine-month-old pit bull named “Blackey,” authorities said.

“Investigative leads, primarily using ALPR technology, helped detectives identify the vehicle, locate the suspect, and bring accountability for what happened to Blackey,” the Santa Ana Police Department said in a statement.

The arrest follows a weekslong investigation into an incident that occurred around 9 a.m. on Sept. 8 near 926 W. Park Lane.

A local resident initially alerted authorities after spotting the dead pit bull in the street, suspecting the dog had been intentionally killed.

After extensive canvassing, detectives recovered home surveillance footage showing a woman arrive in an older-model Honda Odyssey, unload Blackey and set food under the driver’s side of the minivan.

As the puppy ate, Nguyen allegedly moved the vehicle, making the rear driver’s-side tire roll over the pup.
She allegedly kept the car parked on top of the pitbull for roughly 15 seconds before driving away, police said.

Thank you for posting, and for caring about animals. I hope this person receives a long prison sentence. I also hope the authorities will investigate to see if she has any neglected or abused pets of her own.
