Man Accused Of Holding Dog For Ransom

A Wisconsin man is in trouble after police say he held a dog for ransom.

Police said the man took the dog, named Queenie, from a La Crosse church last week while the owner was decorating inside.

The dog's owner put an ad in the paper offering a $200 reward for Queenie.

That is when the suspect called and instead, said he wanted $450.

They met to return the dog and police arrested the suspected dognapper.

The suspect's defense was that his girlfriend bought the dog, and he only asked for more money to cover her costs.
