Oklahoma City Police said a domestic call turned into an animal cruelty case on Sunday. 

Police said a man attacked a woman and her dog at an apartment complex in northwest Oklahoma City.

Dominic Jones is in custody at the Oklahoma County Detention Center. 

Police reports show this is his third time behind bars in the last 30 days. All cases include assault and battery.

Last weekend, officers picked up Jones for two assault and battery and one animal cruelty complaint. Police said the victim this time is his girlfriend.

“The female had made reference that there was some drug use. The male had participated in some drug use and then began acted strangely,” Sgt. Dillon Quirk, with the Oklahoma City Police Department, said.

The police report said the woman told them Jones lost it. He started acting crazy and dragged her out of the apartment. 

After kicking her out he then attacked a puppy stabbing him through a crate he was locked in. The report said Jones believed the devil was inside the dog.

“The female made reference that the male had begun stabbing the dog with a kitchen knife inside. The female was able to get back inside and try to intervene,” Sgt. Quirk said.

Police said several witnesses saw Jones punching his girlfriend as she tried to get him away from the dog. 

OKC Animal Welfare picked up the dog, and despite the victims’ injuries, she did not want to go to the hospital.

“We do know the puppy did receive an initial treatment from a veterinarian but it does look like the puppy is going to be ok. He is currently at home with its owner. The owner is not the person that did this,” John Gary said.

OKC Animal Welfare said this case is just one of thousands of animal cruelty they expect to get this year.

“We want people to report cruelty. If you see something, say something. That way we can work these cases and hold people accountable for what's happening,” Gary said.
