A traveler who allegedly abandoned her 2-year-old goldendoodle at Las Vegas’ Harry Reid Airport is now facing possible jail time after a judge issued a warrant for her arrest. The woman, identified as 26-year-old Germiran Bryson, reportedly left the dog at a JetBlue ticket counter last month because she hadn’t registered it as a service dog and was in a hurry to board her flight.
According to Bryson’s brother, Gerrayl, the dog was essential for her due to an injury she sustained during her time in the Army, suggesting she is a disabled veteran. Despite this claim, when the case was presented to Judge Diana Sullivan, a family member stated that Bryson was currently in a hospital out of state. However, no documentation was provided to substantiate these claims, leading the judge to issue a warrant for Bryson’s arrest. This action allows any law enforcement officer to detain her, as reported by KLAS.
Bryson, who hails from Virginia, allegedly left the dog behind after being told she couldn’t board without proper registration for the animal. She even threatened to call “animal control” before departing. The abandoned dog has since been named JetBlue.
But, no proof was provided, prompting the judge to issue the warrant, which means the traveler can be arrested by any cop, KLAS reported.
Unruly Bryson, of Virginia, abandoned the dog, later named JetBlue, and threatened to call “animal control” after being blocked.
The dog was found tied to a metal carry-on baggage sizer.
“I’m not going to miss my flight,” Bryson said as she trooped over toward her gate.
She was blocked from boarding her flight and was uncooperative when confronted by police.
“What we’re gonna do is walk you back to where your dog’s at and give you a citation, because you left your dog at the ticket counter,” one Las Vegas cop said in bodycam footage released.
She claimed she was trying to rebook her flight – but officers weren’t convinced by her narrative.
Bryson even tried to pin blame on airport staffers and wildly claimed it was “acceptable to leave her dog behind.”
The canine was taken in by the Retriever Rescue of Las Vegas after it sat in Animal Protective Services’ holding for 10 days.
The owner made no attempts to reclaim her pup, police said.
The dog was renamed Jet Blue in honor of its tumultuous journey to the animal rescue, where it “will soon be placed in a new, loving home,” the police department assured.
Danielle Roth, who founded the organization, said the pup “licked our faces, wagged his tail and jumped on us,” after being rescued, as reported by USA Today.
He was taken in by the Las Vegas cops who saved him.
