The Examiner website reports today (January 29, 2011) that a 65-year-old South Carolina woman has been charged with cruelty to animals, after she confessed to torturing and hanging a pit bull dog this week, because the dog chewed on her Bible.
Miriam Fowler Smith of Pacolet Mills, S.C., was arrested and taken to the Spartanburg County Jail, facing felony charges, accused of hanging her nephew's pit bull with an electrical cord, and burning its body after the dog chewed on her Bible.
Smith told police that the female dog -- just one year of age -- was named Diamond and was a "devil dog" that she feared might harm neighborhood children.
Smith faces 180 days to five years in prison if convicted.
