Police say Edward Nudel, 41, of Staten Island broke into his relative's home on March 11 and strangled a 2-year-old Pomeranian named Lola 'in an especially depraved and sadistic manner,' SILive reports. Nudel and the relative reportedly had an argument and, after strangling the dog, he called the relative and said 'I killed Lola.' Bragging: Edward Nudel, 41 (photographed), was indicted Wednesday on multiple charges after allegedly strangling a relative's dog and bragging about it afterward . Police were called and arrived at Nudel's Bay Terrace home to find him sleeping in his bed with Lola lying motionless on the floor nearby with her tongue out, sources told SILive. 'Am I getting arrested for a f***ing dog?' Nudel reportedly said when officers woke him to take him into custody. Nudel, who reportedly appeared intoxicated, wrestled with the cops, according to the New York Daily News reports, kicking one officer in the upper body. Pomeranian: Photographed is a Pomeranian who lives at the residence where Lola was allegedly killed . The officer had to undergo treatment at the Staten Island University Hospital. The dog was taken to an animal hospital where she was pronounced dead, SILive reports. She was taken to the ASPCA for a necropsy; the initial indication is that she was strangled to death. Nudel is facing a slew of charges including felony counts of assault and aggravated cruelty to animals, misdemeanor counts of overdriving, assault, obstruction, torturing and injuring animals, resisting arrests, and lesser counts of harassment. He pleaded not guilty at his arraignment last month, the Daily News reports, and is being held on $25,000 bail.
