Pool Worker Admits to Killing Family's Dog After Video Shows Him Stuffing Body Into Trash
----
Garcia reported the incident to police and an investigator soon called to inform her that Cumpton had allegedly confessed to the killing. The investigator said that Cumpton admitted to strangling Artie after becoming angry when he was bitten while trying to force the dog back inside the house through a dog door.
Cumpton offered to provide the family with a written apology but Garcia rejected the offer. She reportedly described Cumpton as a "monster," while admitting that he would likely not "get what he deserves" because of "the way the law works." Although the outcome of any criminal prosecution is yet to be seen, the incident resulted in Cumpton at least temporarily being out of a job.
"We have since suspended the employee pending the results of the Fresno Police Department's investigation," Pure Water Pools, Cumpton's employer, said in a statement. "We will continue to work with authorities to ensure that this incident is handled appropriately and that justice is served."
Cumpton was released from jail on Friday, telling KGPE that he "absolutely" regretted his actions and asking the Garcia family to forgive him. He insisted that he will "look to be a better person from here on out."
