Information on his attorney wasn't immediately available. Sgt. Derek Mercado tells the paper officers responding to neighbors' calls had to dig the whimpering puppy named Hennessy out of a two-foot snow bank.



The 43-year-old Cruz was then arrested.



Court papers show a veterinarian treated the dog for skull, leg, rib and back fractures as well as lost teeth.



The paper says the dog is currently being cared for by the ASPCA.
