A Florida woman was arrested after police said she drowned her dog in an Orlando airport bathroom so she could board a plane.
Alison Lawrence, 57, was arrested Tuesday for the incident that happened late last year at Orlando International Airport.
Lawrence had arrived at the airport on Dec. 16 for a flight with her dog, Tywinn, according to an Orlando Police arrest affidavit obtained by NBC affiliate WESH.
Surveillance cameras at the airport showed Lawrence arriving with the dog, listed as a 9-year-old miniature schnauzer.
But Lawrence didnt have the right paperwork to have the dog board the plane and was told she couldnt fly with Tywinn, the affidavit said.
Thats when Lawrence made her way to an airport bathroom, where a worker spotted her sitting on the bathroom floor of a stall cleaning up a large amount of water and of food, the affidavit said.
The employee left and returned to remove a trash bag, and inside was the dogs body and accessories, including a collar with a dog tag, the affidavit said.
Lawrences name and contact information were on the dog tag, and animal services responded and helped identify the dog using its chip, the affidavit said.
It was later determined that Tywinns death was from drowning.
Lawrence is believed to have taken extreme and tragic action by killing the dog, the affidavit said.
Lawrence was arrested in Lake County on Tuesday and faces an aggravated animal cruelty charge.
Lawrences name and contact information were on the dog tag, and animal services responded and helped identify the dog using its chip, the affidavit said.
