As police approached Goldstein, he was walking near a phone store with a small brown dog in between his hands. He appeared to be choking the animal.

The officer did not see another officer holding a Taser gun on the man. Witnesses say Goldstein was aggressive and screaming while the dog whimpered loudly. Sadly, the dog died.
Goldstein’s bond was set at $10,000 and a judge ordered him not to have contact with domesticated animals or any of the witnesses to the act. He was transferred to a mental health facility for psychiatric evaluation.
