Your Tuesday Morning Florida Report

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – A woman is facing a felony animal cruelty charge after deputies say she threw a German shepherd off a motel balcony in Daytona Beach.

Volusia County deputies say Allison Murphy threatened to jump off the second floor of the Motel 6 on West International Speedway Boulevard Monday afternoon. When authorities arrived, staff explained she had attacked a maid and was seen standing over the railing, according to the sheriff’s office. As deputies went to confront Murphy in front of her room, she rushed out, disregarded law enforcement and threw her dog over the railing instead, according to deputy body camera video.

The dog is expected to recover. Hopefully it'll go to a new home.

VOLUSIA COUNTY, Fla. (WFLA) — The court will decide whether the dog thrown over a motel balcony in Daytona Beach Monday will be turned over to Animal Services or go back to its owner.

The German Shepherd, nicknamed “miracle,” rescued from her fall Monday is “doing well,” the Volusia Sheriff’s Office said. She is with a foster family recovering from her injuries.
