Man charged after his dog kills neighborhood cat

A county man has been charged with not controlling his dog after it attacked and killed a neighbor's cat.

According to police, Barington R. Spencer's pit bull broke free from his collar/lease on Sept. 28 in the 14300 block of Shale Place and injured a cat that was sitting on a neighbor's porch. The cat's owner intervened in the attack. The cat was taken to the vet where it later had to be euthanized because of its injuries.

An animal control officer charged Spencer with failing to control a dangerous or vicious dog on Oct. 19. Spencer will appear in Chesterfield General District Court on the charge, and he could later be ordered to register his dog with the state as a dangerous dog.
