A traveler from Egypt kicked a U.S. Customs and Border Protection beagle Freddy after the dog sniffed out over 100 pounds of banned food earlier this week at Dulles Airport.

Freddie alerted his handler to a suitcase belonging to the 70-year-old, when the man “violently” kicked the animal “with sufficient force to lift the 25-pound beagle off the ground,” authorities said Thursday. Officers handcuffed him and turned him over to Homeland Security Investigations agents.

The accused, Hamed Ramadan Bayoumy Aly Marie, pleaded guilty to kicking Freddie, who works with the CBP to detect smuggled agricultural products at Washington Dulles International Airport
