A 60-year-old man has been arrested in connection with a dog that died after it was discarded in a trash bag, Henderson’s police chief said Friday.

Randy Katz, 60, was taken into custody by the Henderson Police Department, Police Chief Reggie Rader said in a news conference Friday.

At approximately 8 p.m. Tuesday, police “became aware of a social media post regarding a dog reportedly found in a trash bag near the area of Via Da Vinci and Via Firenze,” the Police Department said in a news release earlier this week.

Residents who found the dog, in the 2300 block of Spalato Court, transported it to a local animal hospital, where the animal died.
