ARLINGTON — Police have charged a 26-year-old man over the death of Spike, whose burnt remains were found near his owners' home in Arlington.
Adam Scott Pigue of Mazourka Drive was issued with four Class C misdemeanor citations; he is the only suspect in the case.
It appears that Spike had somehow been able to get out of the yard of owner Ronnie Villaire, according to police. He was struck by a vehicle and killed.
Pigue told investigators that he found the pet Pomeranian dead in his frontyard and debated how to dispose of the dogs remains.
Pigue claims that he was intoxicated when he decided to burn Spikes remains. Information from a veterinarian and the physical evidence supports Pigues account.
Animal Cruelty charges would not apply in this case since evidence supports that Spike had died before he was burned.
Pigue will appear before the Arlington Municipal Court.
