NEW YORK -- Police say a former television screenwriter
was arrested after punching his poodle in the face so hard that it died of a
brain injury.
A spokesman for the American Society for the Prevention
of Cruelty to Animals says the dog sustained a traumatic brain injury.
The newspaper reports Shuttleworth is a former TV writer
who once worked for "NYPD Blue." He could face up to a year in
prison.
His wife tells the newspaper that the dog's death was a
"horrible accident."
