On 29 August 2014, Corpus Christi Police Detectives obtained an arrest warrant ($25,000 bond) for Steven Mulligan (05/30/1966) for Cruelty to Animals. After the warrant was issued officers responded to his home, located in the 3600 block of Topeka St.,  and arrested him without incident. He was transported to the City Detention Center.

The suspect allegedly amputated one of his dog’s legs at home after it became infected from a previous injury.  The  five-year old eskimo mix-breed named  “Bugsey”  is recovering from treatment and has been transferred to the Gulf Coast Humane Society.

Animal Care Services will continue to work closely with Detectives regarding Animal Cruelty cases such as this one.
