Woman arrested for 'drowning 3-week-old puppy in airport bathroom' after she was told she couldn't bring it on the plane

A woman was arrested in Nebraska last week after allegedly drowning her 3-week-old puppy in an airport bathroom when she tried and failed several times to sneak the young doberman on her plane.
Cynthia Anderson, 56, was arrested on Friday and charged with with a felony count of animal cruelty.
Police say the Edgewater, Florida resident tried to board a flight out of Central Nebraska
Regional Airport on Thursday with two small dogs in crates and three young puppies.
Following U.S. flight regulations, workers at the airport barred Anderson from boarding her flight because dogs younger than eight weeks old are not allowed to fly.
'Their eyes weren't even open,' said Grand Island Police Captain Dean Elliott.
Anderson allegedly handed off two of the puppies to her parents who live in western Nebraska, and tried to board a flight the next day with the two older dogs in cages and the remaining puppy which she tried to hide in her carry-on bag.
It was when airport security caught her trying to smuggle the dog again that Anderson allegedly drowned the puppy in a bathroom.
Anderson was arrested after police interviewed 'numerous witnesses' - including the woman who discovered the dead dog in the bathroom.
