When police checked surveillance video, they saw a man and woman arrive in an SUV with two dogs and a cat. The man teases the dogs with the cat in his hand, then throws it for the dogs to maul.
The matter remained a mystery for more than a year. But Maxwell Joe Bruner’s wife just couldn’t keep her mouth shut.
While at work on day, she mentioned that “Skip and Dink are wanted dogs,” according to the Northwest Daily News. A coworker didn’t know what she was talking about, so she showed him the surveillance footage on the Daily News website, saying her husband was the man on the video. Then a former employee of Bruner’s came forward, confessing that she was the woman with Bruner in the video, and that she’d witnessed Bruner 'sic' his dogs on cats and rabbits several times…
But Bruner didn’t like being ratted out. The former owner of Big Kahuna’s restaurant — he’s as unoriginal as he is cruel — became angry after apparently finding out that the man his wife told ratted him out. So he pushed him and hit him on the head, face and neck.
Now Bruner isn’t just charged with animal cruelty; he’s charged with battery as well. He’s also accused of besmirching the good name of his father.
Bruner Middle School, where he was caught on camera, is named after his father.
