A Snellville dog was hit by a car and injured Sunday night after being given LSD, police said.
Snellville police Capt. Harold Thomas said Nicholas Modrich and Jamie Hughes, both 25, will face drug charges upon release from a local hospital. The couple may also face animal cruelty charges.
Thomas said Snellville police were alerted to the situation by reports of a naked man and woman running along Pinehurst Road at about 8 p.m. The couple fled to their home in the 2100 block of Pinehurst Road and Modrich answered the door naked after police knocked, said Thomas.
"They were tripping pretty hard," said Thomas.
During questioning, the man and woman said they had taken LSD and had given some to Oscar, who was missing. Police determined Oscar was a dog and began a search, but soon learned the animal had been hit by a vehicle on a nearby road.
After being hit, Oscar bit Modrich's mother and brother, said Thomas. Gwinnett Animal Control took possession of the animal, but Modrich's family requested the dog be taken to a private veterinarian, police said. His medical condition is not known.
Inside the home, police found a bong, marijuana and Gummi worms, which were allegedly used to take the LSD, said Thomas. No LSD was found in the home.
