Doggone Cruel: Traveler Dumps Pup @ Pitt Airport After Pooch is Denied Boarding Pass| Crime Alert 7PM 03.25.2026

Crime alert, hourly update, breaking crime news now.

I'm Jennifer Gould.

A Texas traveler's vacation plans have hit major turbulence and his humanity hit rock

bottom.

After he allegedly abandoned his chocolate Labrador puppy at the Pittsburgh International Airport,

all because the pooch didn't have a ticket.

Omar Perez, 42, was slapped with animal cruelty charges after Allegheny County police found

the sad and confused pup dodging cars near the departures drop off around 5 p.m.

Witness reports of a loose dog sent officers into a scramble, eventually securing the terrified

pooch with the help of kind-hearted travelers.

An investigator's track down Perez.

He reportedly tried to tell them a tall tale, claiming he watched a ride-shared driver

dump the dog and speed off, but the ruse didn't fly.

Police quickly determined Perez was the true owner and had simply ditched his four-legged

friend when he realized the puppy could not join him in the skies.

Sadly, this is not the first time we've had this happen.

A department spokesperson noted adding a stern warning that pet ownership is not something

you can just check at the gate.

The cold-hearted trend mirrors a recent shocker in Las Vegas where

Jermaran Bryson, 26, was busted after allegedly tying her two-year-old Golden Doodle to a baggage

cizer and just walking away when she was denied a boarding pass.

What we're going to do is we're going to walk you back to where your dog's at,

and then it's just a patient because you left your dog at the tick counter.

The pup affectionately dubbed JetBlue was left stranded as Bryson headed for her gate.

He was recently adopted by one of the officers who rescued him.

As for Perez, he is now grounded with second degree misdemeanor animal cruelty

and abandonment charges which could land him in a cage of his own for up to two years

and cost him $5,000 in fines.

While the Texas man was released after being processed,

the pup has moved on to a much better layover.

The Allegheny County Police Department confirmed the Labrador is thriving in foster care

and will soon be cleared for a forever home that actually values his company.

More crime and justice news after this.

A former penthouse pet and self-proclaimed first Israeli-only fans model

allegedly traded her centerfolds for court dates after running a sophisticated honey trap scheme

that left wealthy Los Angeles bachelors penniless.

Here's the pinup predator when she appeared on a podcast.

Adva Levy, 28, known to her legion of adult fans as Miivintura,

is facing over 11 years in state prison for a high-flying crime spree that prosecutors say,

targeted vulnerable older men and younger women across Malibu, Beverly Hills,

and West Hollywood.

Levy allegedly trolled high-end dating apps from 2023 to 2025, posing as a doating girlfriend

and travel companion just long enough to gain access to her victim's keys and pass codes.

The five-foot seven-brunette smoke show, who previously boasted of her service in the Israeli

military and a career as a first-class flight attendant, allegedly used her charismatic

cutie persona to mask a cold-blooded thief.

Once inside the posh enclaves of West Lake Village in Calabasis,

Levy reportedly waited for the perfect moment to strip the homes of cold hard cash,

gold, and designer goods.

The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, which issued a bulletin last October seeking

additional victims, noted the leaky-beauty lived a lifestyle as fast as her getaway cars

of black Porsche and a white Mercedes-Benz sedan.

On Monday, March 23, a judge ruled that Levy must stand trial for six felonies,

including Grand Theft and Residential Burglary.

While an extortion charge was tossed for lack of evidence,

Levy remains under strict house arrest with an electronic ankle monitor.

She is scheduled for arraignment on April 6 in Van Eyes Court.

And finally, this trashy trail led straight to a bedroom of horrors.

Shane Alexander Larson, 54, learned that a permanent marker cannot white out a felony

after a Cedar City landfill worker discovered a box of pre-pubescent sex dolls,

despite Larson's attempt to sharpie away his ID, the shipping label remained legible enough

for iron county deputies to track his depravity home during a high stakes raid,

investigators allegedly on Earth, over a dozen lifelike dolls, including six juvenile-style figures

that Larson admitted tossing because they, quote, looked too young and, quote,

now facing six felony counts under Utah's HB-108 law.

Larson is staring down mandatory $10,000 fines.

This landfill lurker is finding out when you throw away the evidence,

the legal stench all these will follow you from your home to a jail cell.
