Alison Lawrence

Alison Lawrence, a 57-year-old American woman, gained notoriety after a distressing incident at Orlando Airport on December 16, 2024, where she drowned her 9-year-old miniature Schnauzer in an airport restroom upon realizing she lacked the necessary travel documents for her pet. The dog’s body was discovered in a trash can, still wearing its leash and collar, which led to her identification by law enforcement. Following her arrest, Lawrence was briefly incarcerated in Lake County before being released on a $5,000 bond. She faces serious criminal charges in Orange County, with potential penalties including up to five years in prison and a maximum fine of $10,000.
