Man Drags Pit Bull To Death Behind Vehicle

ORLAND, Ind. (CBS News) ― An Indiana man angry that his pit bull had killed his Chihuahua dragged the pit bull to death behind an SUV, police said.

Kevin Collins, 20, was arrested and charged with felony animal cruelty. He remained incarcerated at the Steuben County Jail on $10,000 bail Saturday night.

A woman driving along a county route on Thursday saw the animal being dragged along the dirt road, noted the SUV's plate number and called 911, police said.

Police said they found Collins at his parents' house. Collins told police he dragged his pit bull because it killed his other dog.

According to CBS affiliate WANE Collins first shot the dog and then dragged it along a rural dirt road.

Afterward, Collins dumped the dead dog along the road and left it, police said.

A neighbor, Ginny Workman, told WANE, "I'm shocked that Kevin would do something like that, I am totally shocked, because he is a nice kid."

If convicted, Collins could be sentenced to six months to three years in jail.
