LEE COUNTY, Fla. — The Lee County Sheriff's Office (LCSO) has arrested a man for beating a dog.
On Monday LCSO deputies responded to a noise complaint at the Park Crest Apartments in Fort Myers.
Upon arrival, deputies learned James Lyster had kicked his dog into the wall.
LCSO says the eight-year-old Pomeranian's face was covered in blood and couldn't stand on his own.
The Pomeranian was taken to an emergency medical treatment where it was discovered he suffered a broken jaw and internal bleeding.
Lee County Sheriff Carmine Marceno says Benji has a long road to recovery.
Lyster was taken into the Lee County Jail and is charged with aggravated animal cruelty.
