An Ohio man is facing three misdemeanor charges after police say the story he told about his dog did not hold up.
According to local news reports, Norwalk police charged Jonathan, 31, with animal cruelty, handling a firearm while intoxicated, and discharging a weapon in a municipality. Authorities say it all started with a call from Jonathan about his dog, Lula, who had been shot in the face.
Norwalk police Capt. Jim Fulton told local news that Jonathan claimed Lula had been trained to bring him a gun and that the gun went off while it was in her mouth. Fulton said the officers on the scene did not believe that explanation.
The charges are accusations only, and Jonathan is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court. Baller Alert did not find a public response from Jonathan at the time this story was reported.
