Ohio Hunter Faces Felony Charges for Killing Mans Dogs, Is Fired From Job [View all]

A hunter accused of shooting and killing an Ohio man’s two beloved dogs is facing criminal charges — and he’s lost his job as well.

According to court records, Michael Chedester, of St. Clairsville, faces two felony counts of knowingly causing serious physical harm to a companion animal, according to the Intelligencer, the newspaper in nearby Wheeling, West Virginia.

The charges are the first of their kind under a recently signed Ohio law that allows felony counts for harm to a pet.
