Benjamin Fullwood was ordered by a Springfield judge on Friday to stay away from all domestic animals after Fullwood allegedly stabbed a neighbor's pet pig who got loose in a mobile home park on Wednesday afternoon.
Fullwood has been charged with felony animal cruelty, criminal trespassing, and obstruction of a law enforcement officer. His bond was set on Friday at $25,000.
According to usatoday.com, a representative from the Effingham County Sheriff's Office stated a pig from the area wandered into the mobile park and was not a threat to anyone. When Fullwood, 23, saw the pig, he released his two pit bulls on the animal. Then Fullwood stabbed the pig between 15 and 20 times as children and witnesses looked on in horror.
The pig is reported to be in serious condition.
