The pit bull's head was bludgeoned with a hammer and holes were drilled into his chest. Bucky was found dead, hanging by his hind legs in an Arlington barn !
Bucky%u2019s battered, lifeless body was found hanging in a tool shed. According to Snohomish County Prosecutors, Norman Sandretzky strung Bucky up by his hind legs after beating him with a hammer and using a drill to punch holes into his chest. The events leading up to the gruesome discovery were discussed before a judge in a Snohomish County courtroom on Tuesday, April 6th, 2010, when Sandretzky appeared before the court to hear accusations that he killed Bucky and threatened his girlfriend Stephanie Swanson with the same fate. Court documents described how the Arlington, WA man reportedly stated that both Bucky and Swanson were no longer of any use to him and that he had shot Swanson%u2019s dog. A veterinarian performed a necropsy on the 80-pound dog at Swanson%u2019s request after she retrieved the dog%u2019s remains and gathered other evidence from the scene. The necropsy showed no signs of bullet wounds.
Sandretzky is currently being held on $500,000 bail pending investigation into felony domestic violence harassment and first-degree animal cruelty charges by the Snohomish County Sheriff%u2019s office. His sister has defended him by stating that:
%u201DIt's a pit bull. It's a mean little dog. So it was not animal cruelty."
