SanMartin told police that Perry and two other men had just beaten him up and stolen his dog, according to the Palm Beach Post. He claimed he was sitting at a picnic table with his 12-week-old blue nosed pit bull, when Perry and the others came over to him, punched him in the face, and made off with the pup, worth approximately $1,200, according to the police report. SanMartin said he got into the truck, which was a company vehicle, and chased him down, continuing after Perry even after hitting a tree.
Police have yet to find the dog.
SanMartin was charged with aggravated assault with a motor vehicle, and Perry was hit with robbery, battery and grand theft charges. Perry is still in jail, but SanMartin got out on July 4 after posting $6,000 bond.
