Cynthia Anderson, the Edgewater woman convicted of drowning a puppy in a central Nebraska airport, was arrested Thursday and charged with DUI, according to Edgewater police.
Anderson was arrested around 3 p.m. in front of a pet store, by a K-9 officer, police said in a Facebook post.
“Don’t drive intoxicated and definitely don’t kill puppies,” the post said.
Anderson made the news in 2015 when she attempted to board a plane at the Central Nebraska Regional Airport but was denied access to the flight because she was in possession of a 3-week-old Doberman, which airport authorities said was too young and wasn’t housed properly [....]
A witness told police that Anderson entered the women’s restroom with the dog. Police were called after another witness found the puppy dead in the toilet.
Anderson was arrested again last May and charged with violating her probation, which prevented her from owning or living with animals for five years, after photos of her with a black and white dog began circulating on social media.
Anderson was charged Thursday with DUI alcohol or drugs, 1st offense, and released on a $1,000 bond, according to county records.
