State Police have arrested a Niagara County man for allegedly beating two dogs to death.
On October 24th, Troopers out of Lockport were dispatched to Main Street in the town of Newfane for a reported animal cruelty. An investigation determined that Christian Radetich-Hallman had beaten two dogs to death. Both dogs, a 4-month-old male King Charles Cavalier Spaniel dog was found in a garbage can and a 3-month-old female Australian Shepard was located at a secondary location at the residence.
SP Lockport Troopers and the Bureau of Criminal Investigation conducted a search warrant on the residence during this investigation. Radetich-Hallman was taken into custody by the Niagara County Sheriff’s Office and NYS Parole for a Parole Violation and a separate domestic violence offense.
The 23-year-old Radetich-Hallman was charged with Aggravated Cruelty to Animals (E Felony) 2 counts and Criminal Tampering with Physical Evidence (E Felony) two counts.
The fact that a defendant has been charged with a crime is merely an accusation and the defendant is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty.
