BRIDGEVILLE, Pa. - Police say a western Pennsylvania man told them he kicked his girlfriend's puppy to death because he was upset that the pit bull wouldn't behave before the start of the Pittsburgh Steelers game.
William Woodson, 22, remained jailed Monday on a charge of animal cruelty.
A witness told police that Woodson was kicking the dog down the street shortly after the 1 p.m. kickoff Sunday, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reported. Police say Woodson was supposed to be taking the pit bull for a walk, but the animal resisted. By the time police arrived, the puppy was dead.
Police say Woodson didn't like the dog and was upset that his live-in girlfriend bought it.
Online court records don't list an attorney for Woodson.
