Boy, 18, admits to torturing his family’s newborn puppy to death

Jeremy Lindsey faces up to five years in jail for shoving his family's new pet dog, called Cammie, in the dryer and killing her

An 18 year-old boy has admitted torturing his family’s newborn puppy to death by putting her in a clothes dryer. Jeremy Lindsey admitted felony counts of killing a domestic animal and torturing a domestic animal at a court hearing in South Bent, Indiana, on Tuesday.

Lindsey struck a plea deal which saw a separate count of killing a domestic animal dropped in return for his admission.

The creep, who will be sentenced on September 26, killed the dog – named Cammie – in January this year after complaining he felt sick while at school, and being taken home by his mom Danielle Chub.

Chub went back to work, and was told by Lindsey when she returned that evening that Cammie had died. The three week-old dog’s corpse had been left laying on the sofa, and appeared ‘scraped up,’ with Chub initially wondering if Cammie had been hit by a car.

WSBT reported that she discovered blood and dog hair in her clothes dryer shortly after, and realized that Lindsey had deliberately killed Cammie. She and her husband Justin Duis then called police.

Lindsey is said to have admitted killing Cammie, and claimed to have done so because the dog was ‘being mean’ to his family’s pet cat. He faces up to five years behind bars when he is sentenced for killing the dog next month.
