Police Arrest Man For Killing 2 Dogs On Property

WILLIAMSPORT, Md. (AP) ―

Maryland State Police have charged a Williamsport man with animal cruelty for shooting and killing two dogs that had strayed onto his property.

Police say 54-year-old Jeffrey Hurd used a high-powered rifle to shoot a German shepherd that chased a wild turkey onto Hurd's property Thursday. The dog had been shot more than once.

According to police, Hurd was also charged in the July 2007 shooting death of a Labrador retriever.

Other charges include two counts of malicious destruction of property.
