Candy Selena Marban threw an injured puppy into the ocean. She has been arrested on a felony charge of aggravated animal cruelty, police in a Georgia island town said.
Tybee Island police said that Marban was taken into custody Tuesday on a felony charge of aggravated cruelty to animals. She was arrested one day after they circulated a wanted poster shared more than 2,000 times in less than 24 hours on social media, police said in a statement.

Candy Selena Marban Throw Puppy into Ocean
Police said the woman had been seen by witnesses throwing the dog into the water on Sept. 12. When police responded, she told them the dog had been injured the week before, and she didn’t have the money to pay for treatment. Before allowing her to go, police rescued the puppy and gave Marban a citation for cruelty to animals.

Officers took the injured dog, which had an injury to its leg, for emergency medical treatment, but the injuries were too severe, and the dog had to be euthanized.
Because of how severe the injuries were and the fact that the dog had to be put down, detectives got a warrant for Marban’s arrest for the felony charge, the AP reported.
Arrested
The post made by Tybee Island police had more than 2,000 shares in less than a day after its creation Monday. Marban was arrested Tuesday.
Police say she told officers her dog had been injured a week earlier, and she did not have the money to seek medical treatment.
Officers cited Marban for violating the city cruelty to animals ordinance and allowed her to go, police said.
“The original call was that she was throwing the dog into the water,” Tybee Island police Lt. Emory Randolph said. “Some witnesses were very upset about that.”
