INDIANA -- A Bloomington man is facing an animal cruelty charge after he reportedly kicked a Chihuahua.
Police arrested 33-year-old Thomas C. Herbin on the misdemeanor charge Sunday.
The owner of the dog said she took it to St. Francis Pet Hospital in Martinsville, where it underwent treatment for a dislocated hip, which ended up costing $1,768, according to a Bloomington police report.
The owner also told officers the Chihuahua is her son’s service animal and he’s suffering emotionally without the animal in his home.
Herbin’s bond was set at $1,500.
