HOLLYWOOD, Fla. (AP) Authorities in Florida say they've made an arrest in the case of a young pit bull that eventually died after being beaten, stabbed and stuffed into a suitcase.
The Sun Sentinel reports that 31-year-old Brendan Evans was arrested Wednesday and charged with aggravated animal cruelty.
Hollywood police say the dog, named Ollie, died at an animal hospital last month, two days after officers traced his cries to a blue suitcase that was left behind an abandoned building. Inside, they found the bloody dog with deep cuts on his head and body. Police say DNA taken from the suitcase was linked to Evans.
Jail records didn't list an attorney for Evans.

Animal lovers worldwide were outraged by Ollies story, at first offering to adopt him and later donating $65,000 in reward money to help find his killer. It was unclear immediately whether anyone would be collecting the reward.
Despite his horrific injuries, Ollie remained sweet, trusting and friendly during the two days he spent at the animal hospital, and his tail never stopped wagging, his caretakers said.
When he died, there were tears everywhere, said Linda Ream, spokeswoman for the animal hospital. It was silent in the building. Our doctors worked so hard to give Ollie that chance to stay with us.
