ORLANDO, Fla. (WSVN) — The Orlando Police Department have arrested a 23-year-old man after a video surfaced online of him allegedly dangling a dog named "Cocaine" by the scruff of his neck on Tuesday.

Investigators told FOX35 that May was torturing the dog "to get back at his girlfriend."

The video was released by authorities Tuesday for assistance in finding the man in the video. Ransom May was later arrested and is now being faced with animal cruelty charges.

"We want to make sure the dog is ok, that’s our first priority, and we want to find out what occurred for that situation to come about," Diane Summers with Animal Services told FOX35 in Orlando.

The dog is safe, according to authorities.
