The man who was charged last year with running down the highway in Lake Hallie with a machete is now looking at charges in a puppy’s death.
Prosecutors in Eau Claire charged Chad Nylen yesterday for the puppy’s death at his home. Neighbors called the police after they heard the pup cry and whine. Nylen said he accidentally dropped a paving stone on the dog. Nylen is looking at three-and-a-half years in prison if convicted of killing the puppy.
