A 23-year-old woman who got a friend to kill her Jack Russell terrier was charged with skinning the puppy to make a belt out of its hide.
Krystal Lynn Lewis and Austin Michael Mullins, 26, were being held Friday in the Muskogee County jail on $25,000 bail each. They were charged with one felony count of cruelty to animals.
Lewis wanted the puppy, named Poplin, killed because it was a gift from a female ex-lover with whom she doesnât get along, said Muskogee County sheriffâs deputy George Roberson.
Roberson said Mullins shot the terrier 10 times with a .22-calibre pistol. Lewis skinned the animal at her apartment and nailed the hide to a board.
