Former Atlanta Falcons linebacker Prince Shembo was arrested in April and charged with animal cruelty after he allegedly kicked and killed his ex-girlfriend’s dog. Believe it or not, his motive may have been jealousy.
Denicia Williams, who is suing Shembo for killing the Yorkshire terrier, says she believes Shembo planned to beat her dog because he was jealous of her relationship with the pet.
“He said you were spending too much time with him and I felt second to him,” Williams told Kevin Rowson of WXIA in Atlanta.
Shembo claimed he kicked the dog because it bit him.
