A man in Virginia was arrested for accusations of writing bad checks in several states on the East coast for the purchase of French bulldog puppies.
In early February, a man in Miles Township who was selling two French bulldogs received a call from someone that identified themselves as a Florida man named Mark Sampson.
Mr. Sampson reportedly told the seller that he was interested in buying the puppies for $6,000, and they agreed to meet on February 16 to conduct the sale.
Two men are facing robbery charges after a woman who was carrying her two pedigree puppies through a Riverside mall parking lot was allegedly approached by them and assaulted before they took her dogs from her.
On July 28, just before 7:30 pm, a woman was escorting her two young English bulldogs in her arms while walking through the Hemet Valley Mall parking lot. She was reportedly approached by two men that told her to give them her dogs. When she would not comply it is purported that the men pushed the woman down to the ground and stole the puppies from her.
20-year-old Samuel Ramirez who is one of the two men that the authorities suspect was involved in the incident turned himself in at the Temecula California Highway Patrol office three days after the dogs were taken. He was placed in custody and detained for his alleged involvement and he is facing charges of robbery, conspiracy to commit a felony, and probation violation. He was released after posting a bond in the amount of $50,000 and he has a scheduled court date of September 21.
