NASHVILLE, Tennessee (AP) -- A man was arrested on charges of killing his neighbor's 17-year-old dog by place-kicking it like a football.
Chad Daniel Crawford, 23, was charged with cruelty to animals and vandalism Tuesday in the death of p1mpdog, a 2-pound miniature Yorkshire terrier. Crawford was freed on $25,000 bail.
Jalani Lewis said he was in his apartment complex when he saw one of three men holding the dog like a football and then saw Crawford kick the animal.
Lewis said the dog flew through the air in a high arc, hit the pavement and rolled under a parked car. The dog was apparently dead when it hit the ground and the men were laughing, Lewis said.
Crawford said the accusations were false but declined further comment.
