A man has been arrested for stealing a French bulldog in D.C. a few days before Christmas.

Kyrie Holmes, 24, of Southeast, was arrested and charged Friday with armed robbery, according to the D.C. police.

A woman living in Southeast D.C. listed Mocha for sale online on Dec. 22. The robber contacted the woman online to buy Mocha, but when the suspect and another person arrived at the 3300 block of 14th Place SE, the robber grabbed the dog from the woman.

The dog was found safe, a little over a week after she was stolen at gunpoint.

When she tried to get her dog back, one of the two people pointed a handgun at her and threatened to shoot her.

Police have not said where or how Mocha was found, but did say that she will be reunited with her owner.
