    Cliff Notes: Man kicks customs dog at Dulles International Airport

    • An Egyptian man, Hamad Ramadan Bayoumy Aly Marie, pleaded guilty to federal charges for kicking a customs beagle, Freddie, at Washington Dulles International Airport.
    • Authorities discovered over 100lbs of undeclared agricultural products in Marie’s luggage, which are prohibited to prevent harmful pests and diseases.
    • Marie has been ordered to pay for Freddie’s veterinary treatment and was deported back to Egypt following his court appearance.

    Man kicks customs dog at Washington Dulles International Airport, say authorities

    An Egyptian man has admitted federal charges after kicking a customs dog at a US airport, authorities say.

    Hamad Ramadan Bayoumy Aly Marie, 70, pleaded guilty to “harming animals used in law enforcement” during an appearance in the US District Court of eastern Virginia on Wednesday.

    Five-year-old male beagle Freddie allegedly detected more than 100lbs (45kg) of undeclared agricultural products in Marie’s luggage after he arrived at Washington Dulles International Airport from Cairo, Egypt, on Tuesday.

    When Freddie’s handler started questioning the passenger, the man kicks customs dog at Dulles International Airport so hard that the 25lb (11kg) animal was lifted off the ground, according to US Customs and Border Protection.

    A veterinarian determined that Freddie suffered contusions to his right rib area as a result of being kicked.

    Marie was placed in handcuffs by US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers, who found 55lbs (24.9kg) of beef meat, 44lbs (20kg) of rice, 15lbs (6.8kg) of eggplant, cucumbers and bellpeppers, 2lbs (0.9kg) of corn seeds, and 1lb (0.5kg) of herbs in his luggage, according to authorities.

    Any malicious attack on one of us is an attack on all

    All agricultural products were seized as they are prohibited, to prevent the introduction of harmful plant pests and foreign animal diseases from entering the country.

    “Being caught deliberately smuggling well over 100lbs of undeclared and prohibited agricultural products does not give one permission to violently assault a defenceless Customs and Border Protection beagle,” said Christine Waugh, the CBP’s director for the area port of Washington DC.

    “We rely heavily on our K9 partners and Freddie was just doing his job.

    “Any malicious attack on one of us is an attack on all of us, and CBP will continue to work with our investigating and prosecuting partners to deal swift and severe justice to perpetrators.”

    Marie was credited with time served after being taken into custody on Tuesday and was ordered to pay the veterinarian’s fee of $840 (£612) for Freddie’s treatment, a court filing shows.

    He was also told to immediately report to CBP for removal from the US, and he left the country on a flight to Egypt at 12.30pm local time on Thursday.
