A Portland man is facing multiple charges after police say he shot his dog in the head, leaving the animal so severely injured that it had to be euthanized.
Brockman Woods was arrested Nov. 7 after Portland police responded to a residence about a severely injured dog with a critical head wound.
According to the Portland Police Department, investigators found the dog in significant distress and determined it had not received necessary veterinary care. Evidence gathered during the investigation indicated Woods allegedly shot the animal while under the influence of alcohol.
The dog was taken to a veterinary clinic for emergency treatment but had to be euthanized because of the severity of its injuries.
Woods was arrested on a charge of aggravated animal cruelty. Police said he resisted officers during the arrest, requiring them to use physical force to take him into custody. He was also charged with resisting arrest.
The investigation continued the following day after police received information about multiple firearms inside Woods’ residence. Investigators determined Woods was prohibited from possessing firearms because of a prior domestic assault conviction.
Police obtained a search warrant and recovered multiple firearms and numerous rounds of ammunition. Woods was subsequently charged with unlawful possession of a firearm after a domestic assault conviction.
He remains in the Sumner County Jail on a $5,000 bond. He is scheduled to appear in court on Nov. 24.
