San Antonio woman accused of striking puppy multiple times on video accepts plea deal

A woman caught on video allegedly hitting her puppy multiple times accepted a plea deal on Tuesday.

Havanna Dejonet Miller, 23, faces up to 10 years punishment and up to a $10,000 fine for a third-degree felony animal cruelty charge, which could include probation or jail time.

She is expected to be sentenced Oct. 28.

Video from January allegedly shows Miller striking her 3-month-old poodle, Thanos, on a West Side apartment balcony multiple times. She was formally indicted in February.

Miller was in court on Monday for a pre-trial hearing. Jury selection was originally expected to begin on Tuesday, with the trial set to start on Wednesday.
