Man Accused of Hanging DogAPPLETON, Wis. (AP) -- A man accused of hanging his dog from its choke chain has been convicted of felony mistreatment of animals. Thirty-five-year-old Eric Shattuck of Appleton pleaded no contest Thursday in Outagamie County Circuit Court. The criminal complaint says Shattuck told a visitor on Sept. 26 he hung the dog after it refused to drink a fatal dose of antifreeze. The woman reported that the dog was still hanging in Shattuck's garage the next day. Police found the animal's body in a garbage bag in the garage. Shattuck told the woman he killed the dog because he didn't want it anymore. He faces up to 3 1/2 years of prison and extended supervision when he is sentenced Nov. 6. ------ Information from: The Post-Crescent |
