A 33-year-old Worthing man has been arrested on suspicion of animal cruelty after a dog was discovered dead at the side of the A27 on Sunday, November 20.
The man handed himself into Worthing Police Station last night (Monday, November 21) and remains in custody today (Tuesday, November 22).
Police were alerted to the dog's death after a witness reported seeing a car being driven at the Devils Dyke car park in Brighton dragging a dog behind it at around 10pm on Sunday.
The dog, a beagle collie cross, was then found in a lay-by on the A27 to the west of the Southwick Tunnel.
Anyone who witnessed the incident who has not yet spoken to police is asked to contact Sussex Police on 101 quoting serial 1416 of 20/11.
