Police: Man bites, and kills, dog while high on drugs

Police say a man was high on drugs when he killed a neighbor's dog in Waco, Texas.

Michael Terron Daniel, 22, is charged with cruelty to a non-livestock animal, a felony because the dog died.

KCEN reported that Daniel is accused of going to a home on June 14 while high on the synthetic marijuana drug K-2, assaulting several people and chasing a neighbor on his hands and knees while growling like a dog.

Witnesses told police that Daniel then grabbed a medium-sized black dog and took it to the front porch, where he started beating and strangling it.

The paper reported he began biting and ripping pieces of the animal's flesh.

KCEN reported that when police arrived, Daniel was sitting on the front porch with the dead dog on his lap. Officers told the station he was incoherent and covered in the dog's blood and fur.

The Tribune-Herald reported Daniel told police he was on a "bad trip" because of the drug. He was taken to a hospital, then arrested on Monday.
