Monster Arrested For Slamming His Dog And Headbutting Police Car

Florida Man Arrested After Throwing Dog and Attacking Deputies Outside Brevard County Tiki Bar

A shocking scene unfolded outside a Brevard County tiki bar when deputies were called to respond to an act of cruelty that left witnesses horrified. According to the Brevard County Sheriff’s Office, 39-year-old Christopher Stanley was arrested after he allegedly slammed a small dog to the ground and then turned his aggression toward law enforcement officers who arrived at the scene.

The disturbing incident began when bystanders reported that Stanley, who appeared visibly intoxicated, threw the helpless dog onto the pavement with significant force. Witnesses immediately contacted authorities, and the Brevard County Sheriff’s Office dispatched deputies to the bar.

Sheriff Wayne Ivey issued a strong statement condemning the behavior, remarking that intoxication was no excuse for the cruelty shown to the animal. “If you have enough evil in your heart, whether you’re drunk or not, to do that to this little baby, you deserve to sit in jail because if you can do that to an animal, you can do it to a human,” Ivey said.

When deputies confronted Stanley, the situation quickly escalated. Officers reported that he refused to comply with commands, became combative, and threatened law enforcement personnel. During the struggle to take him into custody, Stanley resisted violently and went so far as to headbutt a patrol car. The confrontation highlighted not only his disregard for the dog but also his dangerous behavior toward officers trying to maintain control of the scene.

Investigators later confirmed that Stanley was already on probation for a previous stalking conviction before this incident took place. His actions outside the bar led to a long list of charges, including animal cruelty, threats to law enforcement, resisting with violence, disorderly intoxication, breach of the peace, criminal mischief, and violation of probation. He was booked into the Brevard County Jail, where he remains in custody as his case moves forward in the Florida court system.

While details regarding the dog’s condition were not released, Sheriff Ivey stressed that the well-being of the animal remains a priority for the Sheriff’s Office. The case has sparked outrage locally, serving as another reminder of the importance of protecting animals from abuse and ensuring those who commit such acts are held fully accountable.

For the community, the incident underscores the seriousness with which authorities treat crimes involving both animal cruelty and threats to law enforcement. As the legal process unfolds, Stanley now faces the consequences of his actions, and the Brevard County Sheriff’s Office continues to remind residents that acts of violence against animals will never be tolerated.
