A man was arrested after a Ring camera caught him throwing a dog around a yard near a California school.

Michael Williams, 29, of Barstow, was seen on CCTV letting his dog out on a leash as it whimpered in pain and lay low on the ground.

Moments later, his neighbor’s doorbell camera captured him pushing the terrified animal across the lawn before picking it up and letting it go a few feet.

The small dog squealed in pain and tried to lie on the ground to avoid being picked up, but Williams grabbed the animal and threw it to the pavement three more times. Eventually he removed the dog’s collar and told it to “go.”

Police later arrested Williams at his apartment on Upton Drive near Barstow High School and took him into custody. The dog was also taken from the house, it is reported PPV_TahoeInstagram account claiming to have reported the incident.

When Barstow police officers arrived at his home later that morning, he could be heard aggressively asking officers, “What animal?” I don’t resist. What animal? You’re not explaining anything, can you just explain?”

A woman can also be heard asking for an explanation.

The officers inform them that they are there to arrest Williams for animal cruelty and that they have been investigating the incident.

Williams became very angry and asked “what did you investigate” and that they were “really violating my rights.”
