A man has been deported after kicking a U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) dog at Washington Dulles International Airport on Tuesday.
Freddie, a CBP agriculture detector beagle, was inspecting the baggage of travelers arriving from Cairo when he alerted to one of the suitcases of an Egyptian man.
When a CBP canine handler started questioning the traveler, Hamed Ramadan Bayoumy Aly Marie, he “violently kicked Freddie with sufficient force to lift the 25-pound beagle off the ground,” CBP said.
Marie, 70, was immediately arrested and later pled guilty at the U.S. District Court, Eastern District of Virginia to harming animals used in law enforcement on Wednesday.
He was credited with time served, ordered to pay the veterinarian’s fee, and to immediately report to CBP for removal from the United States. He left on a flight to Egypt at 12.30 p.m. on Thursday.
