A Millsap man was arrested Wednesday, April 7, in connection with an animal cruelty investigation.
Parker County Sheriff Russ Authier said a concerned citizen contacted the sheriffâs office seeking a welfare check of a severely injured dog in the 1300 block of Wilson Bend Road on March 17.
Sheriffâs deputies and animal control officers arrived on scene and discovered a mixed-breed brown and white dog at the residence that was bleeding from a broken arrow which was impaled through its left side.
The dog was immediately taken to a local veterinarian for medical treatment.
Sheriffâs deputies made contact at the home with Dakota Shane Dearman, 24, who told deputies the incident took place two days prior at 3 a.m. Dearman said the dog was barking, which frustrated Dearman, according to a release from the PCSO.
