A West Humboldt Park neighborhood man will be court Saturday accused of hurling his girlfriend’s dog off a porch, breaking its leg last month while the couple fought.
Darrick Sharkey, 24, of the 4200 block of West Iowa Street, was charged one count of aggravated cruelty to animals, a felony.
During an argument, Sharkey reportedly told his girlfriend: “This is what you get for calling the cops on me’’ before throwing his girlfriend’s Scottite breed dog “Blue Ivory” onto the concrete in an alley behind his house on Feb. 25.
The city’s Department of Animal Care and Control was notified and a doctor there treated the pup for a broken rear left leg and hip.
Sharkey was arrested Friday after he was identified as the person who threw the dog off his first-floor back porch
