FRIDLEY, Minn. – An Anoka County, Minn., woman was jailed Thursday after throwing three 1-week-old pit bulls at her boyfriend, who allegedly broke her nose, police told the St. Paul Pioneer Press.
The man, David Peter Remme, 25, was arrested on suspicion of third-degree assault; the woman, Gabrielle Tywon Allen, 20, of Sping Lake Park, was held on possible charges of animal cruelty, the newspaper said. Both were in the Anoka County Jail on Thursday.
Fridley police said the two argued in a parking lot outside an apartment building early Thursday. Allen allegedly hurled the three newborn puppies, which were huddled on the front seat of a pickup truck, at Remme after he punched her in the face, police said.
The pups landed on the concrete and appeared to be uninjured, police said.

Throw bricks at him, not puppies
I vote for cinderblocks!
I vote for the mother of the puppies.
Put the two in a cell together.
They're made for each other. romeo and juliet of the trailer park.
I'm with Denise-3321205, dump him like yesterday's trash.
I hope the mother dog went after her. She's a terrible person.
Only a sick man hits a woman and a sicker woman throws puppies. Made for each other.
Amen! Talk about Dumb & Dumber!!!! No wonder Pitbulls get such a bad rap. It's not the dogs, it's many of the idiots who have them. The way this world is, people should have to get a license to have children AND dogs. Put these 2 dirtbags in a cell together, and take these precious puppies away so they can have a loving home. And if I could, give me 5 minutes with a large blunt object and put me in the cell with these mental rejects. I'd show them what throwing was all about. Some people just need to be picked off by a sniper@!
Hell lucky they did not use the STAND YOUR GROUND law and shot each other, got to love the MORONS that came up with that stupid law ..... Well maybe shooting someone that threw puppies was justified ..
She is more trash than he is. At least she can swing back. One week old puppies can't.
She can get a restraining order. Yet she chose to hurl puppies at him. Real classy.
Two peas in a pod these two are. Don't worry, she will go back to loving him the next day, if not later that evening.
Somehow, I doubt week-old puppies make very effective thrown weapons.
Throw bricks at both of these idiots and then throw away the keys to those cells they are sitting in ...
These two seem to deserve each other.
Those two belong together but remove the animals from them. 'Possible charges of animal cruelty'? What's possible about that, she threw one week old puppies at him. What ridiculous pathetic people they both are.
Get those animals away from that trash. The two of them can punch each other out as far as I'm concerned but what was done to those babies is unforgivable.
Duct tape their heads together and force them to live like that for a week.
No wonder he broke her nose. She was doggin' him.
perfect example of the idiots that want to raise pit bulls
Another attack by pit bulls?
There are so many things wrong with this whole scene that I don't even know where to begin. Pitbulls with people who can't control themselves (so doubtless can't control the dogs), week old puppies in the front seat of a vehicle, week old puppies away from the mother, puppies thrown onto concrete (landed?! Give me a break!), "possible" charges of animal cruelty...
Anyone care to make a guess that they get the dogs back? Oh and before anyone says anything I have nothing against pitbulls, I have a lot against anyone with large dogs and definite impulse control issues.
Well, I guess the couple really deserves each other.
But the puppies deserve better.
Well maybe they did not want an ankle bitter, I mean really why waste the dog food ....
Agreed. Too much wrong with these people. They don't deserve pets.
Pit bulls are beautiful dogs that need a strong owner to train and raise them correctly, not some wishy washy fool of an owner who can't even control her own impulses. The very sad thing is, if any of these dogs are allowed to stay in her care, I have no doubt her inability to be a good owner will cause misfortune down the road for the animals and will do nothing to improve the Pit bull image.
I have a pitbull and he's the best dog I've ever owned. The thing that people don't tell new pet owners is pitbulls need training and lots of exercise, they are not dogs that do well left on their own. Also you need to show them your boss through training and positive reinforcement. Another thing to mention is never hit your pit or keep him locked up on a leach or chain for days because those are the tops reasons they go violent. If you train a pitbull and keep up on their training, they are best dog you can ever own, they are such lovers and people pleasers.
Well rick 34689657888WTFever, maybe YOUR parents didnt want a crumb-snatcher, but they wasted the people food on you didnt they!!?
So, did they arrest him for battery? If not, why not?
The puppies were uninjured. She must throw like a girl.
escientist -
"third-degree assault"
Hmm. Not the article I expected after reading the headline. Oh well.
If the puppies bounced off the BF should he get charged like in basketball? :)
Yes I am joking - about all of it but I do agree with Denise.
And now, the banjo solo: Baddadingdingdingdingdingdingding.....
Everything about this story reeks of stupid rednecks doing stupid redneck sh*t. Lock 'em both up.
Rednecks sighted in Minnesota? Now that's a headline.
If you use puppies as a weapon.............you might be a redneck.
Hey don't give rednecks a bad name they take good care of their dawgs
"If you use puppies as a weapon..."
Oh great, now folks will be coming out of the woodwork to enact federal puppy control regulations. If someone carries a dog in one of those little dog-purse things, they'll need to get a concealed weapons permit.
;-)
Rednecks can be found anywhere. It's a mindset, not a geographical thing. And modern rednecks have nothing to be proud of. They stole the significance of the term redneck and apply the moniker to people who don't deserve it.
Gives rednecks a bad name, most rednecks like their dogs better than their wimmens! besides, their dogs is probaly smarter, better-lookin, cleaner and smell better than their wimmens
Dawgs, wimmens....
LOL! good ones.
Add this to the list of reasons why I avoid the northern suburbs of Minneapolis like the plague.
a classy couple eh? If what they say is true - "like owner like dog" These dogs will make news at leats one more time in our lifetime for biting someones head off.
Obviously both of these people are class acts.
Not.
Who let the dogs out!
Why was he only "arrested on suspicion of third degree assault"?
He said she said probably. Arrest him let them calm down and a detective will investigate but she will probably drop the charges before that.
The cops probably had a hard time controlling the urge to punch her in the face so they gave him a lesser charge.
The only living creatures I care about in this scenario are the puppies.
Save them, and sh....tcan the 2 idiot humans.
Domestic dispute... pitbull puppies... no mention of a southern cross flag, trailer house or dually pickup but they're redneck sounding enough!
Truesaid,you sound like a redneck yourself if you don't know the difference between a "southern cross flag" and a Confederate Battle Flag. A "southern cross flag" just so happens to be the national flag of Australia. Google it,idiot.
Hmm maybe i don't know then... nor really give a @!$%#. But do you know what a one finger salute is? If not Google it yourself bitch- one big one comin' right at you!
Coming to a trailer park near you!
A-holes-both should be charged - this world is f---- U- , time for God to start all over
Better than starting over, cancel the project as a faulty concept.
He is already charged, and they are considering charges against her.
Did anyone else think of the Steve Martin movie The Jerk.
"All I need is this chair, my thermos, my dog.... GRRR... ok not my dog, AND THAT"S ALL I NEED".
LOL!!! Steve Martin was a hoot. Haven't thought of that movie in forever. Thanks, I needed that.
Why is it that some of you think that only "rednecks" act like this? It makes me sick that you will maim a person's character based on your presumption of where someone may live.... Leave it alone with the redneck comments. Even rich people have issues with domestic violence both men and women. Domestic Violence is not just found in poor communities, uneducated communities, or christians, it is found in all walks of life, from the rich and influential to the low income.... Domestic violence is not just physical, it is verbal, mental, emotional, and financial. Wake up world.. However, the woman should not have taken her anger on the puppies. This was just cruel.
@MELPORT---uh, maim their character? Um, they were in public fighting, he punched her in the face and broke her nose, she threw puppies at him....how is somebody calling them redneck maiming their character?
But rich rednecks don't throw pit bull puppies at each other............they throw "King Charles Cavaliers" (an expensive spaniel).
File under "People who should't own pit bulls" they are both inappropriate pet parents
@dr. girlfriend- I think that MEL PORT was pointing out that those puppy-throwing flakes were being referred to as rednecks, thus maiming the redneck image/character being lumped together with such actions. I'll be honest, the 'rednecks' I know don't live in apartment buildings like the article describes. Far from it. Rednecks are also more honorable than 'white-trash' folks. The puppy-chuckers are clearly white-trash. 'Redneck's'-good ... 'white-trash'-bad. I hope I successfully cleared up this misunderstanding.
Re Myyst:
File this under people who should NEVER be allowed to procreate.
MelPort,
"Domestic Violence is not just found in poor communities, uneducated communities, or christians, it is found in all walks of life, from the rich and influential to the low income"
Christians and domestic violence? What bible have you read? Are you saying statistics show that Christians as a group are among those who commit the most domestic violence? Domestic violence IS found in every walk of life, but making blanket statements like this is patently unfair and grossly inaccurate.
And the couple in question is a mixed race couple. She is black, he is white. I expect to hear from Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson at any moment on how this woman was so traumatized by her "white" abuser that the only weapon this poor woman had available (gasp, sob, sob) was the defenseless puppies in her car.
MelPort
They were in Anoka County; if your'e not familiar with Minnesota, that is redneck country! But to be honest with you, I think they are probably just trailer trash
Michele Bachmann's district, I believe.
and you think these two are capable of raising PIT BULLS to be good dogs? They can't even control themselves let alone a breed that is known for its aggressiveness. I hope animal control takes these puppies away from from them.
MELPORT...PUH-LEEESE pull that corn cob out of your back end. You're starting to sound shrill again...
King Charles Cavaliers? I'm glad you pointed out they were a breed of dog. I thought they were a really,really old model of Chevrolet. (Only redneck motorheads will proably get this reference.)
RE: Abby, you took the words right out of my mouth. Can't imagine how they would treat children.
White trailer trash. Scum bags.
She's African-American.
They are not white trailer trash but black trailer trash.
Woman's middle name was Tywon. That doesn't sound redneck to me......just sayin'.
Forget the white and black labels. They are trash, idiotic trash. And that comes in all shapes, sizes and colors!
Okay, hmm... pit bulls... broken noses... a pickup truck. I'm sure a wife beater T-shirt, a tube top and matching barbwire arm tattoo's were somehow left out of this story. So sad, so sad. Seriously though, it's chicken-"crap" that innocent bystander puppies are thrown during a white-trash fight, likely over who forgot to buy the last pack of cigarettes on the way back from cashing their welfare checks.
This woman deserved a good slap along with her husband.
They both need anger management courses. Getting angry is fine. Reacting to it, is not. Contain yourself or society will contain you in a cell.
She should have thrown kittens at him instead. Nobody gets emotionally attached to them.
Since she was in a fist fight with her boyfried she should have thrown boxer (puppies).
Stop The Hypocrisy - I hope you get a cat to the face.
Normally I would care, but they're Pit bulls. Trailer trash people have trailer trash dogs.
Why slam a dog? Pit bulls can and are loving pets, as long as a person understands the breed and properly trains and cares for them. As are Akitas, Rottweilers, German shepherds and Doberman Pinchers --- all breeds that have or have had reputations as being vicious.
Seriously?!? There's absolutely nothing wrong with pit bulls. Years ago, everyone was scared of German shepards, then dobermans, then rottweilers, now it's pits. It's not the dog, it's the @-hole people who train them to fight. Stop the hysteria. These are living creatures that deserve to be treated kindly.
These are EXACTLY the kind of trash that give pit bulls a bad name. Poor dogs.
Pitbulls are just as good as any other breed of dog, it depends on how they are raised, JUST LIKE PEOPLE!!!
Stupid bitch! Leave the puppies alone and kick him in the balls!
Whoa, man!!! She just DOGGED you!!!
NICE!
Isn't love wonderful!!!
