Man Kills Wife's Dog in Dispute

Times staff report

A Frankfort man was arrested early Tuesday, after he allegedly killed his wife's dog during a domestic dispute.

Jedidiah R. Duckworth, 19, 1558 Rossville Ave. Lot 19, was charged with animal cruelty, a Class D felony at 2:25 a.m.

He was released from the Clinton County Jail on a $700 cash bond Tuesday.

Frankfort Police responded to Duckworth's residence shortly after 2 a.m. Tuesday, to a report of a domestic dispute, Deputy Chief of Police Randy Emery said.

"There were allegations that this man kicked and threw the dog (across the street)," he said.

The dog, identified in police reports only as a small breed, died shortly after police arrived on the scene, Emery said.

Clinton County Prosecutor Anthony Sommer acknowledged that he had received a police report relating the incident. However, he declined to provide further details of the report, because Duckworth had not yet appeared in court for an arraignment.

Animal cruelty is a Class D felony when it involves torture or mutilation of a vertebrate animal, he said.
