Deputies in Daviess County, Kentucky say a dog managed to escape after it was tied to the back of a truck and dragged down a road.
A neighbor on Bartley Road called the Sheriff's Department Monday to report Gerald Bartley was torturing a dog.
Bartley reportedly told deputies he thought the dog killed his stray cat so he tried tying the dog to a tree for animal control. But he says the dog became aggressive, so he tied it to his truck to lead it away from his property.
Bartley is facing a misdemeanor charge of torturing an animal.

Comments
The dog was not "dragged", the cat was not a "stray". Seems the media wants to be judge and jury on this one.
