SPARKS, Nev. (AP) - A Sparks dog owner is facing charges after fatally shooting another dog.
Authorities say 57-year-old Harold Miller admitted to shooting the dog after it fought with his dog and became free of its collar.
Sparks police received several 911 calls Saturday around 6 p.m. that a man walking his dog had fired several rounds at another canine.
Officers say they found Miller based on witness descriptions and recovered a handgun in his possession.
He was booked into Washoe County Jail on three counts of discharging a weapon where a person may be endangered.
It was not immediately known Monday if Miller had an attorney.
No details on condition of the dog were given.
