Veteran Marinna Rollins pictured with the dog before she allegedly shot it dead

An Army veteran has been charged with animal cruelty after she allegedly tied her service dog to a tree and shot it five times while her boyfriend filmed.

Marinna Rollins, 23, was arrested yesterday after footage emerged of her and Jarren Heng, a soldier, with Cam, a pitbull given to her to help with her PTSD.

They took him to a wooded area in Fayetteville, North Carolina, where the dog was shot five times at close range before the dog was buried in a shallow grave, according toThe Fayetteville Observer.

In the video she can be heard saying ‘It’s been real… I love you, you’re my puppy, you’re a good puppy, but…’

Rollins is then seen dragging the dog’s body before putting him in a shallow grave.



Police said that Heng filmed what was happening and they found multiple videos of the killing as well as text messages talking about what they had done.

Rollins is believed to have owned Cam for over a year and a Justice for Cam Facebook page has been set up.

They are being held on $25,000 bail.
