17-Year-Old Charged With Shooting a Dog

Amarillo Police were called to the 9000 block of Heritage Hills Parkway late Sunday night with reports of a dog being shot. 

Callers saw two people flee the scene before law enforcement arrived, with one subject, 17-year-old RMoney Thomas entering a home on Lexford Drive without permission. 

No firearm was found on either person, but one was later found in between two houses, which was traced back to Thomas. 

The other subject was released at the scene, while Thomas was charged with Discharging a Firearm in a Municipality, Cruelty to Non-Livestock Animals, Criminal Trespass of a Habitation, Evading Arrest, and Unlawful Carrying of a Weapon.

He has since been booked into the Randall County Jail.
