The man accused of fatally harming a three-month-old puppy has been indicted by a Monroe County Grand Jury on charges of aggravated cruelty to animals.

In August, Brockport Police say 22-year-old Keshawn John-Charles slammed his three-month-old pit bull puppy against a wall then tried to drown it in a bathtub.

Investigators say it all started after the dog defecated on a blanket and that a witness intervened to stop the attack.

Sadly, the dog suffered injuries so severe that it had to be euthanized.
