EDEN — A man accused of poisoning his neighbor’s dog was charged late Friday.
Donald Carter, 41, of 415 Long St. was charged with cruelty to animals, a felony, said Eden Police Lt. Tommy Frazier.
Carter was given a $5,000 secured bond.
Gladys Jones accused Carter in July of poisoning her 4-year-old English bulldog, Mr. Tee, with antifreeze. The dog had to be euthanized.
Jones said her son and grandson found a milk container leaning against her fence. The container had poison in it, she said.
Frazier said Carter told officers that the antifreeze was on his property, not in Jones’ yard. He said he called animal control about Mr. Tee and that his children were afraid of the dog.
“He says he’s had a series of problems with this particular dog,” Frazier said.
