Ohio Firefighter Pleads Guilty To Shooting Two Dogs To Avoid Boarding Fees During His Vacation

David P. Santuomo, 43, is a real charmer. The Columbus firefighter has pleaded guilty to shooting his two dogs because he did not want to pay boarding fees while and went on vacation.


Santuomo was going on vacation with his girlfriend, so he took his two dogs Sloopy and Skeeter into the basement, hanged them from a ceiling pipe, and then shot them eleven times in December, 2008. He then bragged to coworkers about killing the dogs and then dumping their corpses. He then compounded his crime by lying to investigators. He told them that the dogs died after drinking anti-freeze.

After pleading guilty to two counts of animal cruelty and one count of possession of a criminal tool, he will face only 90 days in jail and pay a $4,500 fine.

I am not sure what woman found Santuomo a catch, but she may want to throw this one back into the pond.
