LB Prince Shembo charged with aggravated cruelty to animals in dog killing

Disturbing news has come out this afternoon regarding linebacker Prince Shembo. While these are merely unproven allegations at this time, Shembo has been arrested for killing his ex-girlfriend's small dog.

Per the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, his ex-girlfriend brought a small yorkie to Shembo's apartment. The ex-girlfriend left, only to return to find her dog "unresponsive." The dog was brought to an animal hospital, where it quickly died.

The specifics are terrible, especially if they are proven true.

The following day, Shembo allegedly made comments to Williams about killing the dog, and she broke up with him, she told police.
