Neighbor Shoots Dog In Letcher County
KENTUCKY...
Kentucky State Police have arrested a teenage boy after a man found his 15-year-old dog dead on his property in the Vicco community, east of Hazard.
Alger Williams said he let his dog loose every Sunday morning for a run. This time, a neighbor called out to him that someone had shot the dog, named Barney.
Police handcuffed the boy and took him to the Breathitt County Juvenile Detention Center. They also confiscated a rifle.
Chris Sizemore of the KSP says a neighbor's animals can be nuisances at times, but there are humane solutions to conflicts.
