Ted Shuttleworth is a former screenwriter who previously worked on ‘NYPD Blue‘ and has just recently been arrested for cruelty to animals. Apparently, he punched his poodle so hard in the face that it led to a brain injury that it was unable to live with, and passed away. Shuttleworth could face up to a year in prison if convicted of the crime he has been charged with.

His wife tells the newspaper that the dog’s death was a “horrible accident.”

I am sorry but I have never accidentally punched a dog so hard in the face that I caused a traumatic brain injury and death. This guys is a complete douche and deserves whatever punishment comes his way… In fact, I believe he deserves more.
