According to a sheriff’s report, he allegedly called his girlfriend and told her he was going to kill the dog, and when she returned home, she found the dog dead. The Lovell Police Department was called initially, but the east side of Quebec Avenue at that location is in the county, so the call was referred to the sheriff’s office, which made the arrest.
