From Chicago Tribune:
An Altoona man has been arrested in connection with the shooting of an English Bulldog last weekend.
Bernard Lear, 49, of Altoona was arrested at about 11 p.m. June 23. He's being held on $6,300 bond for charges of felon in possession of a weapon, animal abuse and a warrant for failure to pay child support. He will have an initial appearance at the Polk County Jail this morning.
Authorities found the dog severely injured in a wooded area at Northwest 26th Street and Interstate Highway 80 north of Des Moines just after 6 p.m. Saturday. It had to be put down due to its injuries.
Polk County Sheriff's Deputy Jana Rooker said the dog was staying with a family member of Lear's in Des Moines but did not know if it was registered.
