Portland Man Charged Over Alleged Dog Shooting

Brockman Woods of Portland, Tennessee, was charged with aggravated animal cruelty after police said he allegedly shot his dog in the head while intoxicated. The dog was taken for emergency veterinary treatment but was euthanized because of the severity of its injuries; police also said Woods resisted arrest. A search of Woods’ home the following day uncovered firearms and ammunition, leading to an additional charge of unlawfully possessing a firearm after a domestic assault conviction. He was held on $5,000 bond and was scheduled to appear in court Nov. 24.
