A Menomonie man is looking at charges after police say he killed a woman’s dog during a fight.
Prosecutors in Chippewa Falls filed the charges Friday. Officers say 41-year-old Jason Hoyt killed the dog during a domestic violence disturbance. Officers say Hoyt threatened to run over his girlfriend in a UTV last week at their home in Howard. Investigators say he chased her in the UTV, but flipped. That wreck killed the woman’s dog. Hoyt is looking at both domestic violence and animal cruelty charges, both are felonies.
