California woman charged after minivan ran over puppy in Santa Ana
A 75-year-old woman in California was arrested after surveillance footage showed her minivan running over a nine-month-old puppy in Santa Ana on 8 September. Police say the case matters because the footage helped investigators identify the driver, who now faces animal cruelty and abandonment charges.
Police said Hahn Nguyen put dog food beside a wheel and slowly drove forward as the puppy approached; the vehicle remained over the animal for about 15 seconds before she left. Nguyen admitted abandoning the black-and-white pit bull mix, named Blackey, but did not admit to deliberately running it over. Investigators identified her using number plate reader technology, and she was booked at Santa Ana Jail.
