Bail was doubled Monday to $50,000 for a Pacific Beach man who is accused of felony animal cruelty after he allegedly killed his dog with a rock and threw it in a dumpster.
Deputy District Attorney Karra Reedy asked for the bail increase for Jorge Ramos, 22, citing the seriousness of the case. Ramos’ attorney objected before San Diego Superior Court Judge Dan Link doubled the bail from $25,000.
Link reset the preliminary hearing set for Wednesday to Dec. 10. Ramos has pleaded not guilty and remains in the central jail.
His neighbors called police on Oct. 20, saying they heard or saw a man kill his dog in an alley near Oliver Avenue near Jewel Street in Pacific Beach. The dog’s body was found in the dumpster.
