Michigan man charged with shooting and killing neighbor's dog

Andrae Jones, 43, was arraigned in court on Sept. 3 on four counts, including third-degree murder/cruelty to animals, a felony punishable by four years in prison, the Macomb County District Attorney's Office said in a news release Thursday.

It says Jones shot the dog, named Buddy, on Aug. 15 as he approached his property line. The news release did not specify where in the township the incident occurred. Messages were left Friday for spokespeople for the district attorney's office and township police, asking for more details.

Jones is also charged with aggravated weapons offense, negligent discharge of a firearm and intentional damage to property valued at more than $200 but less than $1,000. Both are misdemeanors, according to the prosecutor's press release.
