A Foster City man accused of animal cruelty against two Siberian huskies in the parking lot of Taco Bell has been arrested and charged, the San Mateo County District Attorney’s Office said.
Chris Hackett, 26, is charged with two counts of felony animal abuse for incidents on July 30 and Dec. 12. Hackett allegedly caught on security cameras dragging and punching a husky he owned July 30 in the parking lot at 1131 Triton Drive, the DA’s Office said.
He then was accused of punching another Husky Dec. 12 at the same Taco Bell. The DA’s Office said Hackett told law enforcement when questioned that the dogs were misbehaving.
The two dogs were taken into an animal rescue car. He remains in custody, and his next court date is Dec. 28.
