(KRON) --  A 6-month-old puppy named “Money” was located on Thursday, days after a wanted man threw it at deputies while fleeing near Salinas, the Monterey County Sheriff’s Office said. Orlando Figueroa-Martinez, 38, was arrested on Monday after deputies recognized him as having an active no -bail arrest warrant, according to authorities. When the deputies first located him near Pingree Way and Penzance Street in the Bolsa Knolls neighborhood, just outside of the Salinas city limits, he was holding a small dog. “When deputies attempted to arrest him, Figueroa-Martinez ignored lawful commands and fled on foot,” the sheriff’s office wrote. “While running, he threw the dog at a deputy and continued to resist arrest.” Missing miniature Doberman pinscher "Money" (Photo: Monterey County Sheriff's Office) Figueroa-Martinez was taken into custody following a physical struggle.
