FAIRFIELD — A woman suspected of tossing a pug dog was in court briefly Monday.

Brandi Chin, 31, who has pleaded not guilty to a felony animal abuse charge, was ordered to return to court Sept. 19 for the start of her jury trial. Chin also faces a pair of misdemeanor battery charges for an alleged altercation and brawl with people who witnessed how she allegedly handled a pug named Benny on the afternoon of Dec. 19, 2015.

Chin, 31, was arrested after Fairfield police obtained surveillance camera video that shows Benny flying through the air and flopping into a puddle of water before he tumbles and rolls several times on the asphalt before being scooped up by Chin’s boyfriend.

The video posted on Facebook was picked up by media outlets throughout the country.
