A 17-year-old boy is on the run after police say he choked a pregnant woman and then injured her two dogs, the Orlando Sentinel reported.

Daytona Beach Police are now looking for Jarred Scott Poole, who is wanted on charges including aggravated battery on a pregnant woman and felony cruelty to animals, the newspaper reported.

On Sunday, Poole was arguing with Jasmine Avance, who is pregnant and engaged to Poole’s brother, when he “drop-kicked” Avance’s Chihuahua puppy into the street. He proceeded to throw her pit bull into the road after Avance had retrieved her Chihuahua, the newspaper said.
