COBB COUNTY, Ga. — Video shows a man throwing a dog into a wall and ceiling at an apartment complex in Smyrna earlier this month.
Over the weekend, investigators identified the man in the video as James Moses.
The footage shows Moses walking down a hallway, picking up a dog and throwing it against the ceiling. Moses then walks out of frame.
Authorities were able to execute two search warrants and they took the dog to be assessed.
The county’s veterinarian said that the dog is okay.
Both the dog and its owner have moved somewhere safer for both of them.
Moses turned himself in to the Cobb County Adult Detention Center on Tuesday afternoon. He is being charged with aggravated cruelty to animals.
