MINNEAPOLIS - A man accused of cutting the head off his teenage ex-girlfriend‘s dog and leaving it at her front door in a gift-wrapped box was charged with animal cruelty and torture Friday.

Gomez, 24, of St. Paul, was arrested Thursday; a judge set bail at $20,000 at his first court appearance Friday afternoon.

The complaint, written by St. Paul police Sgt. Jim Gray, alleges that Gomez acknowledged that the crime happened in his basement but said others were responsible for decapitating the dog and sending it to 17-year-old Crystal Brown. It was unclear from the document whether the dog had been alive when it was decapitated.

The arrest was "just a huge relief," Brown‘s grandmother said.

Crystal Brown was devastated when Chevy, her 4-year-old Australian shepherd mix, disappeared last month from the St. Paul home she shares with her grandmother.

Two weeks after Chevy disappeared, a gift box addressed to Crystal was found at the front door. Inside, she found Valentine‘s Day Valentine‘s Day candy and a garbage bag containing Chevy‘s head.

Shirley Brown said she and Crystal immediately suspected Gomez, who she said once dated the teen and expressed jealousy when she began dating someone else.

The case drew media attention worldwide, and Crystal received an outpouring of support from as far away as Australia. People sent cards, photos of pets and dog toys and treats. A $2,500 reward offered by the Humane Society of the United States quickly grew to $20,000, thanks to donations.

Crystal now has a new puppy, named Diesel, and Shirley Brown said they are bonding after just a few short weeks.
