A Maricopa County employee is facing charges of animal cruelty after allegedly dumping two pug puppies in the trash.

A woman who found the puppies -- still alive -- called the police.

Police paperwork shows that several other adult pugs were found at Davis' house. Those five dogs reportedly were sick, believed to be suffering from parvo.

Davis, who was arrested and booked on animal cruelty and neglect charges, is a supervisor in the Maricopa County Courts Department.
