A dog is dead.
A 66-year-old retired man has been charged with two felony counts.
He is confounded because he feels he acted in self-defense. And a woman and her two sons are heartbroken following an incident they believe easily could have been avoided.
Merrill C. Kaval, 66, of Minooka, was arrested and charged with aggravated cruelty to animals and criminal damage to property, both felonies,Minooka Police Chief Justin Meyer said, following an April 1 backyard shooting of a 10-month-old English bulldog in Minooka’s Lakewood Subdivision.
Meyer said Kaval was arrested after the Grundy County state’s attorney reviewed a report compiled by Minooka police. Meyer said his officers were dispatched to a home in the 1400 block of Levato Lane a few minutes after 7 p.m. April 1.
