Court records show a Warren County grand jury indicted Benjamin Holliday this week. He is charged with prohibitions concerning companion animals,
Fox 8 in Cincinnati reported.
Authorities say Holliday, 31, was an inmate in the Warren Correctional Institution in Lebanon on Aug. 25 when he’s accused of causing the death of the dog,
Evie, by kicking her.
Joseph’s Legacy, the animal rescue charity which placed the 4-year-old German Shepherd-Elkhound mix in the program, has said the dog died of blunt force trauma to her abdomen.
Warren County Prosecutor David Fornshell said Thursday he wouldn’t comment on a potential motive, but added that “we don’t believe this was a one-time incident.” He said authorities believe there may have been ongoing abuse of the dog.

I’m really upset at the possibility Evie could have been abused over a period of time. What an absolute monster.
