On March 3, 2025, the South Windsor Police Department received a 911 call from 26-year-old TRE SPENCER PATRIZZ (pictured), claiming his dog had jumped out of his vehicle while he was driving.


On the same day, another call came to 911 after PATRIZZ was witnessed driving a vehicle down Buckland Road with a dog tethered to the back of the vehicle. The caller said that in order to get PATRIZZ to stop, he had to cut him off.


Police said in a press release that officers located PATRIZZ at the New England Veterinary Center in Windsor where he had taken the dog.

PATRIZZ claimed he forgot the dog was tethered to the vehicle.


Officers arrested him on charges of tethering a dog to a mobile device and cruelty to animals. He was processed and held on a $10,000 surety bond.


Police said the dog is not PATRIZZ’s, instead, the dog’s guardian had hired PATRIZZ to train him.


The furvictim sustained “significant road rash to his underbelly and paws”, but police said the injuries do not appear to be life threatening “and he will likely make a full recovery after long term bandage care and pain management.”


Samonna Jones, started an online fundraiser to help with the medical costs for the dog identified as Krown. According to the GoFundMe page, Krown’s guardian is Samonna’s sister. At the time of writing, a total of $1,225 has been raised.


A Facebook post by Tyler Regional Animal Care Shelter – Tracs, advised that Krown, whom they referred to as K., is still at New England Veterinary Center and Cancer Care where he is receiving around the clock care.

Part of the post read: “We are looking for anyone who may have information about this incident, or the dog.  Below is a picture of the collar.  The dog will be taken care of with respect by our agency until the owner can be located.
