Tomlin apparently was angry after his dog and another dog got into a fight.
“He went to the victim’s home and beat the other dog, including hitting and stomping on its head,” according to the Montgomery County Prosecutor’s Office.
The charge is a felony because the actions involved “acute pain of a duration that results in substantial suffering,” the prosecutor’s office said.
The dog survived. The case was investigated by the Dayton Police Department.
