There are charges for a father and son in Vernon County who are accused of killing their neighbor’s dog.
Prosecutors filed charges this week against John Kurtz and his son Andrew. The sheriff’s office says Kurtz’s neighbor reported her dog missing over the weekend. The neighbor said Kurtz had threatened to kill the dog before, because it got too close to his property. Deputies say Kurtz told them he had his son shoot the dog, then he tossed its body in a ditch behind his house.
