A teen who also arrested has not yet been charged. Smith allegedly stole the dog from his mother's yard on Halloween.
Local authorities believe the dog was used as an animal sacrifice at a party.
After the dog was dead, Smith allegedly cut off the dog's head and placed it on a fence post. Satanic literature was reportedly found in Thomas' apartment. Please write or fax the district attorney, politely urging him to prosecute the defendants aggressively and push for mandatory psychiatric treatment.
