A Florida man is facing charges for allegedly killing a dog for barking too much and then punching a child who refused to help him cover up the crime, authorities say.
When Ian Hunt"was made aware of the senseless killing of the dog," the arrest report said, he approached Edwards, who started arguing with him and punching him.
Edwards then proceeded to wake up a child to"help him hide the dog's remains," the arrest report said. When the minor refused to comply, Edwards allegedly punched the child. Edwards was arrested on charges of torture inflicting pain and serious injury resulting in death of an animal and child abuse without causing great bodily harm, battery and contributing to the delinquency of a minor.“It’s so terrible what he did to that dog. I keep thinking about how my dog suffered,” Richard Hunt told WFLA.Nicole Acevedo is a staff reporter at NBC News Digital where she reports, writes and produces content for NBC Latino and NBCNews.com.
