From: TCPalm.comWILTON MANORS, FL -- A man with a tattoo of Britney Spears' name on his arm or neck allegedly stole a Chihuahua with pink earrings from a South Florida gay bar.
Forty-eight-year-old Brian Dortort, 48, of Oakland Park, said Thursday he has spent weeks searching for his 4-month-old pooch, named Hudson Hayward Hemingway. The dog, about the size of a softball, was in a specialty pet bag.
Dortort says he let a man hold the Chihuahua, which cost him more than $1,000, for a moment during a friend's birthday party, then both of them disappeared.
The dog is described as light-cream colored with a pink belly and pink ears. She has a pink earring in each ear.
Wilton Manors police investigated the theft and identified a suspect whose whereabouts are unknown, police spokesman David Jones said. It's up to the Broward State Attorney's Office to decide whether there's enough evidence for an arrest warrant to be issued, police said.
Dortort described the thief as a thin man about 5-foot-10. He weighs about 160 pounds, has short brown hair and tattoos, including one on his arm or neck that says " Britney Spears."
