Two Maysville residents have been charged with killing a dog, according to authorities.
Michael Gibson, 23, and Jessica Spillane Magdalenski, 22, both of Michelle Lane in Maysville, was charged by the Onslow County Sheriffs Department with two counts of felony conspiracy and two counts of cruelty to animals.
Onslow County Animal Control received a call about possible animal abuse in mid-October, according to the Onslow County Sheriffs Department. The caller said a dog was beaten to death with a baseball bat and burned on a trash pile.
According to warrants, the dog was a Great Dane mix.
Kevin Bryan and two other agents with Animal Control responded and found the burned body of a dog on the trash pile and blood spatters on the outside of the house, according to the release. The Animal Control Agents recognized the crime was a felony and called Onslow County Sheriffs Office.
According to the Sheriffs Department, Gibson and Magdalenski said the dog tried to attack Magdalenski and her young child. The two also told investigators the dog was aggressive toward the other animals in the house.
Gibson told deputies that no one had a gun so they used a baseball bat, according to authorities.
Bond was set at $5,000 for both Gibson and Magdalenski.


Got Meth?
Completely unnecessary. Simply have your local police investigate a noise in your backyard. They will shoot the dog for you.
I can just imagine how this animal corrects her child’s behavior.
