Columbus County detectives are investigating two cases of animal cruelty, both of which happened on the same day, within miles of each other. One of the dogs was shot in the eye with a BB gun, the other stabbed to death.
Judy Floyd lives a couple of miles down the road from Nance. The same day Skip was killed Floyd found her dog "Roadside" shot in the eye by a BB gun. Floyd said, "There's like a hole where it went into the cuticle of his eye. You can see where it went in, and I don't know if it exited." Roadside survived but now is blind in that eye. Floyd said, "He's got ointment that has to be applied three times a day, give him lots of love and attention."
Psychiatrists say anyone who hurts animals may suffer from Antisocial Personality Disorder.
Experts say people with ASD are less likely to have a conscience and more likely to break laws and be more violent. The Columbus County Sheriff's Office has not said if the two cases are related. The Humane Society is also looking into the animal cruelty.
