The boyfriend of a Mt. Washington woman who has been missing since March has been charged with beating a friend's dog to death while the animal was left in his care.
The list of charges against Alexander P. Lorenzi, 23, grew to include multiple drug violations and assaulting a police officer when detectives went to arrest him on Saturday, according to court documents.
The incidents that led to the most recent charges against Lorenzi began Aug. 10 when Samantina Perri left her dog, Armani, at Lorenzi's home on Caledonia Way, according to police.
When she returned, the dog was dead, police said. The woman's father, Samuel Perri, took the dog to a veterinarian who determined that the animal died of recent blunt-force trauma to the kidney and had suffered internal bleeding.
Pittsburgh police learned about the dog's death when they were called to the home for an altercation between Lorenzi and Samuel Perri, court documents show.
Detectives who went to Lorenzi's home to arrest him on animal cruelty charges, found him standing near a pickup in the garage. When Lorenzi spotted the officers, he dumped a bag of suspected cocaine and a bag containing about $6,000 in cash on the floor, and pushed one of the detectives, police said
