"He did it all because he was high, he was all messed up on drugs, and he was paranoid that law enforcement was after him," Ivey said. "Well let me tell you: I am after him now."
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Ivey said that witnesses in the area pulled the puppies out of the dumpster after Singletary left, and then called authorities.
Officials say that one of the puppies has been adopted and the other has been taken back to its owner.
Sheriff Ivey said that Singletary should turn himself in, calling the act "despicable."

"Turn yourself in if you know what's good for you," Ivey said. "Man up. You were man enough to throw this beautiful little animal in a dumpster, be man enough to come see me and get walked into the Brevard County Jail."
Singletary's girlfriend, Kristen Willoughy, is also wanted for a probation violation after previously being arrested for child abuse and animal cruelty.
