Sadie Slater is being charged with robbery after allegedly driving off with the French bulldog.
The suspect in a dognapping was arrested Saturday, two weeks after allegedly driving off with a French bulldog as the owner clung to the car hood.
The Los Angeles Police Department and the U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task Force arrested 21-year-old Sadie Slater in Inglewood, California, on Saturday. She is being charged with robbery, and her bail is set at $70,000, according to the police.
Slater is allegedly responsible for the dognapping on Jan. 18 in Los Angeles, where the group she was with drove off with a French bulldog while the owner clung to the hood of the car. The incident was captured on video by a bystander.
I’m pretty sure they typically look at the cost of “replacing” the dog. Which is to say, if you spent $400 on an adoption fee, you’ll probably get $400, maybe a little more to account for inflation if you’re lucky. If you bought a dog for $2,000, you’ll probably get about $2,000. Nevermind if you spent thousands of dollars in training and vet fees, food, toys, etc.
At this point, it must be close to $20,000 that I have invested in my one dog who ended up having health problems (she’s almost two!). Would I get that back if somebody killed or stole her? Hell no. Should I? Hell yes.
