The recent discovery of five puppies, that were found in a trash bag inside a Las Vegas dumpster, has resulted in the arrest of a man.

The puppies emitted a chlorine odor when discovered on November 5 at an apartment complex on Charleston Boulevard. Authorities later determined that the substances dropped on the puppies were bleach and another cleaning fluid.

Michael Grindrod, 39, of Las Vegas was arrested on November 6 and is facing charges of animal abuse, as reported by Las Vegas TV station KLAS.

He remains in custody as of Tuesday and is also suspected in an auto theft case.

The individual was being evicted from a residence and had recently lost his job, according to the report.

In addition to the five puppies found in the dumpster, he also had three others and the mother of the dogs, named Zoey.

The dogs were rescued by the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department (LVMPD) and were placed with The Animal Foundation, a local shelter, and then transferred to an organization called Wagging Tails Rescue, according to KLAS.

The group is referring to the eight puppies and the mother as “Zoey and her Zoo.” Each puppy will be named after an animal.

All eight puppies and their mother are expected to make a full recovery. However, a ninth puppy had to be euthanized after blood was discovered in its chest.

The Animal Foundation can assist in rehoming unwanted dogs and other pets in the Las Vegas area, as well as provide food for animals. The foundation’s hotline is 702-955-5932.

Defendant in Three Murders Agrees to Plea Deal

A man has agreed to a plea deal after being implicated in murders, robberies, and a kidnapping in the Las Vegas area.

Anthony Carrillo, 33, agreed to the plea agreement on Monday, pleading guilty to 20 criminal charges stemming from a 2021 crime spree.

He was charged with three murders, an attempted murder, a kidnapping, along with burglaries and assaults, according to KLAS.

One of the murders was related to a shooting near Eastern Avenue, while another took place in Henderson, and a third in Las Vegas.

Prosecutors have opted not to pursue the death penalty in his case. Instead, he is likely to receive a life sentence without the possibility of parole, according to KLAS.

He is currently held at the Clark County Detention Center, having previously served time in a California prison, as per KLAS.

Man Arrested for Over 30 Burglaries

An individual was apprehended on Tuesday following an investigation into more than 30 burglaries in and around Las Vegas.

The suspect, Cedric Hasan, 34, faces 35 counts related to burglaries and theft.

Investigators identified him as a suspect after noticing that he frequently wore brightly colored shoes, as reported by the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department (LVMPD).

The total damages incurred by the businesses amounted to $100,000.
