Tuesday afternoon officers were called to the 500 block of East Riverside Drive regarding a dog possibly being beaten.
The dog’s owner told police she left following an argument with 43-year-old Dewey Smith.
She then played audio recordings of a phone call where a dog could be heard whimpering.
Smith could be heard saying, “I’m beating your dog can you not hear it?”
Smith also threatened to bust the victim’s teeth out.
Smith told officers the recordings were from another day, and it was not him.
He was taken to jail and charged with intimidation and animal cruelty.
