Maximum Prison Sentence for Beheading Dog with Chainsaw

On September 23, 2010, two men were arrested for be-heading a 2 year old dog with a chainsaw. The men resorted to using a chainsaw after the knife that they tried to use, failed to do the job. Apparently, Teddy Sexton,32, is on felony probation for prior crimes, and chose to use the knife and chainsaw because he could not obtain a gun. Sexton's criminal history includes false imprisonment, drug possession, and aggravated battery against a household member.


A department investigator had been notified of several children suffering from nightmares after the unbelievable incident. Though not known for certain, it appears that the children in the home witnessed the gruesome act.


We ask that this violent crime be prosecuted as a felony and to the fullest extent of the law with maxium prison sentence.
