SHERMAN, NY – A Sherman man is facing animal cruelty related charges after he allegedly hit a dog on purpose with his vehicle.
The Chautauqua County Sheriff’s Office says 66 year-old Richard Frey was traveling down an undisclosed road in Sherman at about 3:30 p.m. on Sunday, Nov. 1, when he allegedly ran into and killed a dog with his vehicle. After hitting the dog Frey left the scene. After a short investigation it was found that Frey had seen the dog in front of his car and continued to travel forward into the dog.
Frey was arrested and charged with Agriculture and Markets law overdriving, torturing, injuring animals. He was issued an appearance ticket and will appear in the Town of Sherman Court on a later date.
This guy needs the maximum sentence. This type of cruelty does not stop with cruelty to animals. He is a menace to society.
