BUFFALO, NY (WKBW) - Adam Arroyo has lived in his Breckenridge apartment for three years but has never experienced a day like this past Monday; when police busted down his door in search of drugs, shooting and killing his dog in the process.
"She's over here, chained up, and look at all these bullet holes man. Look at the blood right here," Arroyo explained as he showed Eyewitness cameras where his pit bull mix Cindy had been shot.
"She was tied up in the kitchen like I tie her up every single day, and they shot her for no reason."
When Arroyo returned home Monday evening he found his apartment torn apart, door busted down and several bullet holes in his kitchen wall.
He also found a search warrant for 304 Breckenridge, upper apartment.
The suspect named in the warrant was described as a black male and was wanted on suspicion of dealing crack.
Arroyo is Hispanic and lives at 304 Breckenridge, upper-rear apartment, which has a completely separate entrance and is clearly marked on his mail box.
Reporter: "You have never used or sold drugs in this apartment?" Arroyo: "Never. Never. I don't do drugs. I'm a United States veteran. I work everyday. I'm just trying to live my life."
Arroyo is a combat veteran who served in Iraq and plans to join the National Guard. This incident, however has left him heart-broken and angry.
"For police to wrongfully come into my house and murder my dog... It wasn't that they felt threatened. No. They murdered my dog," said Arroyo, beginning to tear up.
"That was my dog, man. That was my dog. They didn't have to do that, you know. They didn't have to do that."
Arroyo now has to pay to have Cindy cremated. He also had to repair his door at his own cost and has had to miss work.
He plans now to press charges against the City of Buffalo.
Buffalo Police spokesperson Michael DeGeorge says Internal Affairs has launched an investigation into the case, but that police believe they had the proper address.
He also says detectives "don't believe the dog was chained or leashed" when they executed the raid. Adding that if any wrong doing is found in the investigation that officers will face consequences.
DeGeorge could not comment on whether officers found any drugs inside the apartment.
NO NO NO!
I wanna see Bronzy publicly pilloried for not owning a kennel!
Convict Bronzy now!

I don’t have any dogs.
I hate dogs.
It is irrelevant to the fact that this man suffered an unlawful intrusion of government employees.
It is merely another attempt to divert from the subject.
You certainly may, but you are responsible for the actions of your dog if it attacks, maims and kills your neighbors or your own child.
Who cares, drama queen?
I always knew you were a closeted cat-lover.
Who the hell wrote that train wreck?
Should I be extremely con-cerned about my Doberman Pinchers, now?
:D
That isn’t what the law in Fairfield, IA states.
Go back and reread.
Screw the subject...poor thing is attempting to divert from reality.
Why are you all wasting electrons on a straw man chomping con-cern troll?
You slap yourself *right now*!
LOL
[don’t think that didn’t get you a Disapproving Dobermann Stare, missy!]
Only if they hit the magic 100 pound mark. ;)
You're the one who stated as fact; Unlawful government employee intrusions are an established pattern.
Oh, my.
*Somebody’s* getting their knickers in a knot.
:)
Do you live there?
Oh, thank God.
He’s only 99.7 pounds *and* I don’t live in Io-way.
[you had me terribly con-cerned for a bit]
Why don't you stop?
Do you?
If not, how do you *you* know?
[omniscience aside, of course]
Peewee?
Peewee Herman?
Is that you?
One’s residence is irrelevant to what the law states.
Go back and reread.
