CEDAR RAPIDS, IOWA (AP) -- Police in Cedar Rapids say a man threatened to kill a woman with a knife if she didn't give him the dog she was walking.
Clarissa Kleppe told police she was walking a friend's miniature pinscher/Jack Russell terrier mix about 6 p.m. Monday when the man approached her from behind, held a knife to her throat and demanded the dog. The 23-year-old handed over the dog and was not injured.
The dog is valued at $50. Police are looking for a suspect based on Kleppe's description.
