PASCO COUNTY, Fla. — The Pasco Sheriff's Office (PSO) said they arrested a man who allegedly hit and killed a dog with his truck intentionally.
In April, Jesse Stanaszek’s dog, Chase, escaped from their Forest Hills backyard and ended up a few blocks away on Landau Street, where the dog was hit and killed by a driver.
According to Stanaszek, at least one of his neighbors witnessed the tragedy and said the dog was hit intentionally by the unknown driver in a pick-up truck.
Pasco Sheriff said they arrested Roger Elder, 59, for animal cruelty in this case.
