(KAIR)--A Leavenworth man, accused of beating and burning a dog, has been formally charged with a felony.
According to a news release from Leavenworth County Attorney Todd Thompson, 57-year-old Lemuel Dean Hunter, Jr. is charged with felony cruelty to animals.
The charge stems from a crime that Thompson says happened Monday.
According to the release, Hunter made his first appearance in a Leavenworth County courtroom Wednesday, where bond was initially set at $10,000.
According to The Leavenworth Times, Hunter was arrested Monday night after allegedly kicking a dog, beating it with a board, choking it, and burning it with a propane torch.
The newspaper reports the 3-year-old beagle/corgi mix, named Gracie, survived the alleged abuse.
