A warning – this story may be disturbing to some viewers. Betty Ann Davis, 49, from Bushkill, Pennsylvania, is accused of throwing 9-pound pomsky “Elli” five times off a 2-story deck and into a rock pile last month. The incidents were caught on surveillance camera while she allegedly dog-sat in Pike County, Pennsylvania. Elli’s owner gave News 12 the videos, as well as the animal’s x-ray, and says the dog suffered a broken leg that required amputation.
The NYPD is actively searching for two individuals who opened fire on a crowded train platform in the Bronx.

Corena Kelley, a resident of Kingston, has been sentenced to six years in jail following her conviction for intent to sell fentanyl.

During the search, law enforcement officers recovered 10 grams of fentanyl, along with thousands of dollars in cash and two loaded pistols. The discovery of these items led to Kelley's arrest and subsequent conviction.
