SAVANNAH, Ga. -- A suspected burglar was charged with felony animal cruelty after police found a resident's missing dog burned to death in an oven that had been set to 400 degrees.
The dog's owner, Angela DeLettre, noticed an open back door, items missing and a kitchen sink overflowing with water when she came home Thursday. She found one of her dogs safe, but the other, a 1-year-old rat terrier, was missing.
Police later found the dead dog in the oven.
Police arrested Alexander Davis, 19, based on an anonymous tip. In addition to the cruelty charge, he was charged with burglarizing DeLettre's home and another home in the area. Another person was charged with theft by receiving stolen property.
"This is just sick. This is just very, very strange," said Melanie Higgins, a prosecutor who handles most of the county's animal abuse cases.
No bond was set for Davis and he remained in the Chatham County Jail. A court hearing was scheduled Thursday, and attempts to learn if he had an attorney were not successful.
DeLettre, a high school teacher, said she did not know the suspects or why anyone would want to harm her.
"To rob someone is one thing," she said, "but why hurt such a little animal?"
